In the Rem Koolhaas-designed gallery space, visitors can explore a captivating collection of over 200 images. Witness to Nature delves into a diverse range of themes, from global warming to mythology, native customs, and the far-reaching consequences of urbanization.

 

Notable highlights include Cristina de Middel’s dive into different traditional costumes of various cultures, Hiroji Kubota’s portrayal of the mystical Chinese mountain ranges, and Newsha Tavakolian’s take on the effects of global warming on the Iranian landscape.

This exhibition is part of Prada’s Reporter initiative, aiming to foster connections between fashion and various creative realms. As visitors wander through the space, they’ll encounter a reportage-inspired aesthetic, complete with oversized decorative silver cameras and impeccably dressed mannequins.

 

The mannequins model the photojournalism-themed capsule collection, featuring multi-pocketed Re-Nylon vests and comfortably loose-fitting trousers.
