This spring, Fotografiska Tallinn presents Through Elliott Erwitt’s Playful Eyes, a retrospective exhibition celebrating the legendary photographer Elliott Erwitt (1928–2023). This exhibition explores Erwitt’s seven decades of creative photography, highlighting playful everyday moments, humorous perspectives, and thought-provoking reflections. It is Fotografiska’s tribute to the extraordinary journey and talent of the legendary artist, showcasing nearly 100 images that represent the pinnacle of street photography.
The exhibition's opening offered a rare opportunity to hear filmmaker Douglas Sloan's firsthand recollections of the photographer's work and life. He is interviewed by Fotografiska guide Elo Aun.
Douglas Sloan is a filmmaker and commercial director known for his documentaries focusing on the lives and work of artists and photographers. In addition to Erwitt, he has created documentary films about renowned figures in photographic art, such as Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, William Klein, Diane Arbus, and many others.
