Bruce Gilden ꟾ Why These?

August 19 at 10am – August 23

At Fotografiska Berlin

Mitte, Berlin

Gilden shoots with flash at extremely close range, often without asking
Give yourself 1 to 2 hours for a relaxed visit
Hit the rooftop bar after for skyline views

Gilden's in-your-face street photography grabs strangers at their most unguarded, turning urban chaos into visceral, often uncomfortable art. 45 works trace his evolution from gritty black-and-white to saturated digital color at Fotografiska's striking graffiti-covered space.
