Mathieu Bitton’s “Ascension”

Mathieu Bitton’s portraits show new facets of life within the rock music circus. The photographer, a long-time comrade-in-arms of Kravitz, has accompanied the musician on his world tours, capturing both grand poses on stage and quiet hours between concerts. These works are exhibited for the first time as part of the exhibition FLASH.

Seen from this angle, his works reveal much about the photographer, his life, and his subjects in a uniquely intense and aesthetic way. The photographs document Kravitz’s world tours and offer unusual insights into the nomadic life of a musician.

Mathieu Bitton’s “Ascension” - will be on display at MiamiPhotoFest 2019 - Feb 27th - Mar 3rd.

Opening night RSVP, Limited Availability

All Prints are signed and available for sale during this event.

Mathieu Bitton’s “Ascension” is produced by Florida Photographic Foundation and supported by OstLicht. Gallery for Photography, Vienna
