The Unguarded Moment by Steve McCurry
19 Jun 2009 - 19 Jul 2009
@ Shaw Foundation Foyer, ACM Empress Place

As a photographer, Steve McCurry is sustained by the rhythms of everyday life: the routines of herding and fishing; the chanting of prayers and the hawking of wares. His first solo exhibition in Singapore, The Unguarded Moment is suggestive of the vast tapestry of human experience and his chance encounters with silhouette and shadow, water and light, spire and sky.

This exhibition hopes to create a visceral sense of the beauty and wonder he is confronted with during his travels of over 30 years throughout Asia, when the shock of the strange rubs against the delight of the familiar. The Unguarded Moment presents a selection of Steve McCurry’s iconic photographs such as the “Afghan Girl” alongside unpublished, never before seen photographs captured throughout his photographic career.
Admission to this exhibition is FREE.
