 Canon announced that they will be sponsoring Magnum photographer Jonas Bendiksen’s ‘The Places We Live’, a unique multimedia exhibition exploring what it means to be a 21st century city dweller. The exhibition will debut at the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo on 6 June, before touring worldwide through the prestigious Magnum Photos network. ‘The Places We Live’ was photographed by Bendiksen using Canon’s 12.8 Megapixel EOS-5D and will be exhibited using 18 of Canon’s new XEED SX7 projectors.
‘The Places We Live’ will offer a virtual visit to 20 homes in four of the world’s most deprived slums, Kibera in Nairobi, Dharavi in Mumbai, the hillside barrios of Caracas and poor kampongs in Jakarta.
