They are currently leading the future of the photographers' collective. In 14 photo series, consisting of more than 150 works in total, the reason why becomes clear.

Close Enough takes its title from a statement by one of the founders of the Magnum photographers' collective, Robert Capa. Each of the photographers shows in their own unique way that true proximity to the subject is essential for a really good photo.

This exhibition features work from: Olivia Arthur, Myriam Boulos, Sabiha Çimen, Bieke Depoorter, Cristina de Middel, Carolyn Drake, Cristina García Rodero, Nanna Heitmann, Susan Meiselas, Hannah Price, Lua Ribeira, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Newsha Tavakolian.
