Mirror Mirror. Portugal as seen by MAGNUM Photographers (by Christoph Renard)

Background information

"In 2004, the Centro Cultural de Belem in Lisbon organized the exhibition Mirror, Mirror, which presented images of Portugal as seen by thirteen Magnum photographers. The exhibition and this accompanying catalogue, 'Mirror Mirror / Espelho Meu', provide a look at Portugal from the 1950s to the present through the eyes of some of the world's foremost journalistic and artistic Magnum photographers.
To give a broad vision of the country's development over the last fifty years, the exhibition features images from the Magnum archives alongside recently commissioned work by Josef KOUDELKA, Susan MEISELAS, and Miguel Rio BRANCO.
