Upon seeing an advert for this exhibition whilst sitting at a cafe, I wanted to go. I love Corbjin’s photography and all of the music videos he has done are visually stunning with a standout being Talk by Coldplay. Sure, The American wasn’t the best movie ever but it was decent and the photography was superb. All of the pieces can be seen in his book of the same name, but it’s nice to see them in the flesh and to walk through and around them. I bought a poster of the following one showing Gerhard Richter, and there is a lot to get at the museum’s shop.
There are a lot of incredible photos with my favourites including that of Arcade Fire (as well as a separate one of Win and Régine), Bruce Springsteen, PJ Harvey, Tom Waits and many more. There’s something really amazing about the way that Corbjin captures the subjects facial expression so vividly without adding too much drama or intensity to the shot. The pictures are very unique and there’s a lot to see in each one.
