Eyes Wide Open! 100 Years of Leica Photography, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, October 24, 2014 - January 11, 2015
“Shooting with a Leica is like a long tender kiss, like firing an automatic pistol, like an hour on the analyst's couch,” said Henri Cartier-Bresson, who called his camera an “extension of an eye” and who remained faithful to his 35-mm Leica throughout his photographer’s career. Famous war correspondent Robert Capa also took many of his iconic photos with a Leica, which he found to be an extremely reliable work instrument. Aside from chronicling the history of the legendary Leica, the exhibition in Hamburg of more than 400 photographs also addresses the revolutionary changes, creative and technological innovations brought on by the invention of this small camera.
