Book premiere & artist talk
23.04.2026, 19:00

During the event, Christopher Anderson will talk about his work and the process behind his latest photobook Index. He will be joined by Marion Durand – curator of the exhibition Family Trilogy, the subject of three of Christopher’s projects, and his life partner. The conversation will be moderated by Michał Matus – reporter and audio journalist, author of dozens of interviews with photographers from around the world, conducted among others for the Fotopolis podcast and the “Once Upon a Photograph” series on Polish Radio Three.

Index, the latest publication from London-based publisher Stanley/Baker, is a nine-volume set presenting the extraordinary breadth of Christopher Anderson’s photographic work – from his early career as a photojournalist covering 9/11, Afghanistan, and the second Gulf War, to the deeply affecting story from Haiti, where Anderson boarded a wooden boat alongside migrants attempting to reach the United States. As the boat began to sink, the life-threatening experience profoundly changed his approach to photography, and the resulting work earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal.

The publication also includes projects focused on places he has called home – such as France and New York – as well as locations that have had a lasting impact on him, including China.
