Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Facing Britain brings together for the first time almost all important representatives of British documentary photography in a large overview exhibition outside the UK. Long forgotten and only recently rediscovered positions such as John Myers, Tish Murtha, or Peter Mitchell are shown alongside works by world stars such as Martin Parr.

The show thus offers a unique insight into the developments in the field of photography in the United Kingdom. These developments are interwoven with continental Europe and North America, but also independent of them.
