(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, April 01, 2013 ) Calgary, Canada -- The Annenberg Space for Photography has been situated beneath the Century City high rises, with the venue being set to open an exhibit entitle War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath.
The show is free to the public, however, the images may not be suitable for everyone. The 1945 photo of the Iwo Jima flag raising was the part for the show, which has been organized by the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. Now, the Los Angeles exhibit includes over 150 images of war, daily routine, fighting, executions, and homecomings, to name a few.
The showcase also includes a full documentary feature following six photographers, including David Hume Kennerly, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his photography of the Vietnam War.
"I think the difference between a moving image and the still photo is that the still photography takes a right to your heart and soul," Kennerly said. "Those images stick with you."
Many images that will be on display are iconic pictures that many have seen before. However, there is something different about seeing the true photos in person, along with seeing them as the photographer saw them through the lens.
The Annenberg Space for Photography hopes that the exhibit allows people to think and talk about what it is they see.
"When you're looking at these images mostly in books, magazines or even on television, there's a certain distance that you feel," Leonard Aube of The Annenberg Foundation said. "But when you're in a space like this it's immediately intimate and it's unvarnished."
