The Leica Gallery Munich is showing a selection of works from the book of the same name accompanying the exhibition, which documents the diverse human manifestations of the last 30 years.
This series is Thomas’ most personal work to date and a powerful portrayal of human comedy and tragedy.
It is now being presented for the first time in combination with the current book.
“This series of works focuses on the tragicomedy of human existence, in which each of us plays a role – sometimes impressively, sometimes clumsily, depending on talent, condition, energy or passion.
Some shine as stars and icons, while others suffer tragic fates.” ∼ Christopher Thomas
