SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery: No Iconic Images. Views of War
DESCRIPTION:Open Eye Gallery proudly presents No Iconic Images. Views of Wa
 r\, a thought-provoking exhibition examining contemporary depictions of wa
 r.\n\nThis exhibition invites audiences to reconsider the power of war pho
 tography in shaping collective memory\, political narratives\, and public 
 perception. As images circulate faster than ever in a digital world\, the 
 exhibition raises pressing questions: Do we still need iconic images? How 
 do they influence our understanding of war? And what happens when a single
  image defines an entire conflict?\n\nIn collaboration with The Guardian a
 nd Magnum Photos\, the exhibition showcases projects by a new generation o
 f Magnum photographers\, Peter van Agtmael and Newsha Tavakolian\, who off
 er personal insights into the wars they witnessed in Iraq\, Afghanistan\, 
 and Syria.\n\nThe exhibition also delves into the editorial choices behind
  war photography today\, with The Guardian providing a unique perspective 
 on global conflicts\, from Haiti to Myanmar. As Fiona Shields\, The Guardi
 an’s Head of Photography stated:"The geo-political nature of a conflict 
 will often determine the priority of our reporting"\, these images drives 
 us to think about how photography shapes and influences our understanding 
 of global crisis.\n\nInvestigative works by Forensic Architecture and the 
 Centre for Spatial Technologies reconstruct the 2022 attack on Kyiv’s TV
  Tower\, while artists Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Khimei challenge tradit
 ional Western aesthetics in representations of war casualties.\n\n“As th
 e world burns and images circulate faster than ever\, it examines recent w
 ars and how they are portrayed and reflected upon through photography”. 
 – Max Gorbatskyi and Viktoria Bavykina\, exhibition curators.\n\nImage:
