Since his debut in photography in the mid-1960s, Adams has been considered by many as one of the most important and influential chroniclers of the American West.

The exhibition “Robert Adams: The Place We Live“ reflects Adams’ longstanding interest in his country and his quest to find a redeeming light and beauty to offset the increasingly deteriorated relationship between man and nature.

With more than two hundred and fifty photos, this retrospective presents for the very first time the diverse aspects of four decades of work devoted to the landscapes of America. It provides a coherent account of the spectacular story of the development of America in the late 20th and early 21st century, but also from a wider point of view, the complexity and contradictions of our contemporary society.
