Steinitz comes to the Russian capital with his producer and friend Zak Kaghado who actively worked with the artist in Paris, and now has organized his exhibition in Moscow. Various works from his black-and-white series, and color portraits shot in Paris and New York on large-format film will be displayed within the expo.

The artist has, through the years, developed his own style. He is using the technology of manual platinum print, which creates impressive effects and meets the demands of Paul Steinitz’s aesthetics. Influenced by Hollywood glamour and expressionist cinema he accuses money, power and sexuality of lies and fakery.

Within the Moscow exhibition, entitled “God Only Knows Why My Trip Never Ended” the rising star of photography, Ja'bagh Kaghado, will presents his works with Paul Steinitz.

This young artist is not new to Moscow’s art lovers – having held a tremendously successful personal exhibition in August, 2008 at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.

In 2009 Ja'bagh Kaghado has carried out a set of projects, including “The Obsession of …” in Moscow’s center of modern art, and Ðœ’ARS within the “Fashion and style in photography 2009” festival. In Moscow Ja'bagh Kaghado will also present his new Parisian series “Faces In The Shadow”.

The Paul Steinitz and Ja'bagh Kaghado exhibition opens on August 11 in the Moscow Museum of Modern Art in Ermolaevsky lane. On August 13 at 19.00 both photographers will give a master-class, speaking about the creative vision of a photographer and style development.
