Much of Penn’s work is characterised by a fascination with the different stages of life, and its inevitable end – death. “Resonance” is a journey through the American photographer’s imagery from the late 1940s to the mid 1990s and depicts various elements of his oeuvre. He was a portrayer of every aspect of life and events, where detailed studies of everyday objects such as cigarette butts, paper cups or pieces of bone were portrayed with the same harmony as haute couture, super models and ordinary workers.
