Spanning decades of work - which has been featured in The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and TIME Protected content - the exhibition showcases his distinctive approach: Approaching all subjects with radical honesty to question rather than to glorify power.

Subjects range from autocrats like Putin and Trump to activists including Pussy Riot, and artists such as Prince and Adele.
