Anton Corbijn is one the best known photographers and music video directors of the world, who has helped several bands to fame by the taking extraordinary photos of them or shooting videos to their songs. Such bands are: Nirvana, Depeche Mode, U2, or Joy Division. In fact, the story of this latter band was the main theme of Corbijn’s first movie, titled Contol.

Several other photographers has tried to follow, and times even to copy his style, thus the 1980’s and 1990’s were mostly defined by his diction and the atmosphere he creates in his works. He had a huge effect on the so-called MTV-generation’s view of things.

So, Ludwig Museum – Contemporary Art Museum decided to exhibit Corbijn photos, thus, we get a closer look at the rich and famous people of Hollywood – but in an unusual way. Furthermore, a selection of his videos will be shown in the exhibition, too.
