All The World's a Stage - William Klein

All the World’s a Stage is the most ambitious and comprehensive exhibition of the work of William Klein, recognised as one of the most influential photographers of the second half of the 20th century, on the European continent since his death.

Covering various aspects of his work through around 200 works - street photography, fashion, cinema, editorial production - and taking us to major cities such as New York, Paris, Rome, Moscow and Tokyo, the exhibition emphasises the performative dimension of the American photographer, highlighting the unique way in which he interacted with his models and subjects. 

All the World’s a Stage is an overview of William Klein’s vast body of work, organized in five sections: Looking Back, Material Gestures, Tokyo, Films and Together.

Klein was a fiercely independent artist who was able to work at the centre of the commercial world while pursuing his passion projects. He did everything his own way, always with a great feeling for style and vitality, and for the unpredictable ways that life unfolds.
