The Jewish Journey: Frederic Brenner's Photographic Odyssey

Oct 14, 2004–Feb 27, 2005

From Rome to New York, India to Yemen, Buenos Aires to Bukhara, since 1978, Frédéric Brenner has recorded the Jewish Diaspora in over forty countries on five continents. The French photographer, trained as a social anthropologist, has comprised the most extensive record of Jewish life ever created by a single individual as well as chronicled one of the oldest and most diverse peoples. See how the artist's portraits challenge stereotypic images of Jews, while documenting the variety of Jewish Diaspora life at the end of the twentieth century.
