Hardhitta Gallery is pleased to present Poet of Radical Photography, a solo show by German photographer Miron Zownir. Famous for his images taken in Western metropoles such as Berlin, London, and New York, and in post Communist Eastern Europe, Zownir is regarded as one of the most radical contemporary photographers of the last 40 years.
Zownir’s photographs often depict social outcasts: drug addicts, the homeless, and prostitutes. It is said that Zownir continues where Weegee and Diane Arbus left off. His powerful black & white images draw attention to those who are often overlooked, shunned, or forgotten.

Miron Zownir
Penso che le mie foto abbiano del mistico per il tema ritratto, per il tipo di soggetti, per la circostanza, per il modo in cui sono inquadrate. Ogni situazione si può scattare in centinaia di modi diversi: a colori, con una prospettiva differente, con una diversa luce. Cento fotografi nella stessa situazione farebbero cento foto diverse, io sono completamente istintivo e impulsivo, per me la fotografia è qualcosa di talmente semplice e impulsivo che non devo neanche pensare quando scatto.
Miron Zownir
