Jonathan Alpeyrie Exhibition
Anastasia Photo
This event has ended.
As a journalist, always in search of a certain historical truth within today’s framework, the stories of each of these
veterans interviewed and photographed is a treasure of human perseverance. – Jonathan Alpeyrie
Anastasia Photo presents Jonathan Alpeyrie’s first exhibition with the gallery. Born in Paris in 1979,
Jonathan Alpeyrie’s career as a photojournalist stretches over a decade, and has brought him to over 25 countries,
covering 11 conflict zones, mostly in East Africa, the South Caucasus, and central Asia. He is a staff photographer for
Polaris Images and his photographs have been widely published in magazines and newspapers around the world
including Paris Match, Times (Europe), Newsweek, Boston Globe, Glamour (France and Spain) and The New York
Times.
The Second World War was fought by an entire generation of men from more than 60 nations. Jonathan Alpeyrie has
made portraits of 223 veterans from 63 nations and documented their testimony of the war. This exhibition is a
powerful document of these men and this unique time in world history and will include a selection of diptychs
presenting veterans who fought on opposing sides during the war.
