Civilization: The Way We Live Now features the work of 140 of the world’s finest photographers. It addresses and illuminates major aspects of our increasingly global 21st-century civilisation. In its many facets the exhibition demonstrates how extraordinarily complex the functioning of our civilisation has become.
Genesis are proud to have supported this exhibition with our range of Photographic Printing services and bespoke Photographic Framing services.
The exhibition has been conceived as a journey through key aspects of civilisation, via eight parts: HIVE, which features photographs having to do with the places we live; ALONE TOGETHER which looks at social relationships; FLOW, which take as its subject the movement of peoples, good and ideas; PERSUASION, which looks at the mechanisms which we use to persuade others to follow our desires; CONTROL, which has to do with authority and power; RUPTURE, which looks at societal breakdown and conflict; ESCAPE, which shows people at leisure; and NEXT, which looks at the new world taking shape in the 21st Century.
The exhibition has so far toured 7 different galleries in 7 different countries, and is currently on display in London’s Saatchi Gallery until September 17th 2023.
