Iwan Baan: Prague Diary

An urban pilgrimage through the streets of Prague. World-renowned architecture photographer Iwan Baan personally unveils his exhibition at the Centre for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP).

Iwan Baan is one of the most sought-after architectural photographers of today. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he has built up an unprecedented portfolio. He is sought out by starchitects, but he sees himself as a documentary photographer and is more interested in how people actually use buildings, rather than the buildings themselves. Last summer, Baan visited and photographed Prague for the first time in his life. Seven days with a camera in hand—on foot, on a bike and from a helicopter. Through the center, the periphery, and the landscape along the Vltava River. He now presents his work, which shows the city as raw, often neglected and miles away from the glossy pictures in tourist guides. The exhibition, entitled Iwan Baan: Prague Diary, runs until August 20 at CAMP.
