This year Leica is
presenting an exclusive exhibition "Farm Boys and Farm Girls USA" by
Bruce Gilden in the Leica Collector's Lounge at the Terrace Pavilion of
Somerset House. The American magnum
photographer, a self-proclaimed "city boy," spent much of his career
in urban areas and could not be further from the lifestyle of the Midwestern agricultural
community. However, when he photographed
several State Fairs in 2014, he was deeply impressed by the young people who
presented and sold their livestock, an unfamiliar and fascinating world, far removed
from his comfort zone.

For the first time,
Gilden's main focus is on young people, who appeared more mature to him than
their actual age. Growing up with farm animals and the everyday proximity to
life and death prepares you for your own demise. In 2017, Gilden decided to continue his work
of the young farm people. He accompanied
them to state fairs, where they compete and learn to become successful members
of the agricultural community.

Bruce Gilden will give a
lecture in the main auditorium of the fair on May 18 at 7 pm and will be
available for autographs on May 17 and 19 at 4 pm.
