Magnum House
Plinth x Magnum Photos x Thames & Hudson

The Magnum Home, a pop-up space combining radical interior design with photography from the Magnum archive.

With an emphasis on some of Magnum’s most contemporary and intriguing work, The Magnum Home staged photography in a distinctly domestic environment – a listed Georgian townhouse, opposite the British Museum. Curated by Ekow Eshun, and following the critical acclaim of his project Made You Look: Dandyism and Black Masculinity at the Photographers’ Gallery, the exhibition both spanned Magnum’s archive and urged the viewer to look at it anew. Yinka Ilori Studio transformed the space, injecting a distinctly Nigerian aesthetic to create a dialogue with the photography on display.
