Anastasia Photo 143 Ludlow Street NY 10002 New York États-Unis
Testimony, Haviv’s first solo exhibition at Anastasia Photo, spans 23 years and 18 countries, from Bosnia to Haiti to Libya. He has documented three genocides and over thirty conflicts worldwide. Through Haviv’s lens, we see come to life the dramatic moments, which define our shared history – revolutions won and lost, crimes of war, reunited families and victorious freedom fighters.
The exhibition covers Haviv's legacy. These images remind us not only of the photographer's role in documenting history but also in shaping it. “I believe and have dedicated my life to witnessing history in an attempt to create a body of evidence that holds people accountable,” said Ron Haviv.

His iconic images have been published by Details, Newsweek, NY Times Magazine, New Yorker, Paris Match, People, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Time, amongst others.
