Viewing Room #10 - Homage to Humanity by Jimmy Nelson
“With my pictures I want to show the beauty, to make more people aware of threatened cultures.
But also to show their pride and strength.”
Homage to Humanity
Last September, we celebrated the opening of Jimmy's exhibition Homage to Humanity in the photography museum Fotografiska in Stockholm. Fotografiska and Jimmy Nelson share values and perspectives on human and cultural diversity.
Jimmy wants the viewer to interpret the artwork while creating awareness for the portrayed communities. The exhibition at Fotografiska is highly interactive, where each work is scannable with the app and allows the viewer to immerse themselves in Jimmy's intentions and stories about the image itself, directly on their phones.
WILLAS contemporary has had the pleasure of representing Jimmy Nelson since 2014, and placed his works in significant Scandinavian collections such as the Equinor Art Collection, Petter Stordalen Art Collection and Johan Andresen Art Collection.
