Event Details

April 23-Sept. 24

Founded in 2001 by Ray Potes in collaboration with his brother, David, and friend, Stefan Simikich, Hamburger Eyes has blazed a trail in documentary photo publishing and created a style that is simultaneously raw and profound. With distinct black-and-white photos that capture vignettes of everyday life, Hamburger Eyes encompasses the pendulum swing of human emotion, showcasing moments ranging from urban distress to childlike wonder.

To date, Hamburger Eyes has produced over 200 titles of zines, magazines and books alongside countless exhibitions, commissions and collaborations. Most recently, Ray published Hamburger Eyes – The First 25 Years, celebrating the magazine’s 25th anniversary, which coincides with this exhibition.
