"I have always admired Peter Lindbergh for the consistency and intensity of his work. Being timeless is a quality I personally aspire to, and that Peter certainly possessed. With this exhibition at Armani/Silos I want to pay tribute to a wonderful workmate whose love for beauty is an indelible contribution to our culture, not just to fashion." Thus Giorgio Armani introduces the discovery in his museum space of a great man of world photography. Not to be missed.

Heimat is a concept that has a deep meaning in German culture. It is home, the place of belonging and of heart, the homeland. It’s also the exhibition title "Heimat. A Sense of Belonging" commissioned and curated by Giorgio Armani in his Armani Silos, to celebrate one of the greatest masters of twentieth century photography, Peter Lindbergh, who died in September 2019 at the age of 74. Heimat for Lindbergh represents the industrial background of Duisburg in Germany, with its factories, fog, steel and concrete, the gray horizon. A place that has forever marked its aesthetics, with its truth and personality...

Timeless icons, ‘90s supermodels, Fashion, intense never banal portraits of a poignant black and white, but also industrial landscapes, still life, everyday objects, many never before seen shots. Created in collaboration with Peter Lindbergh Foundation, the exhibition also tells values and affinities that two masters share, the fashion designer and the photographer, an aesthetic partnership of many Armani campaigns: the identity sense, honesty, always remaining true to yourself.
With an almost dramatic set-up and a cinematic light and dark play, the exhibition is divided into 3 sections, all located on the ground floor: The Naked Truth portraits, Heimat factories and gloomy urban landscapes and modern heroines which proudly show their authenticity of The Modern Heroine.
Peter Lindbergh changes fashion photography standards forever. He introduces a new form of realism that undermines stereotypes related to age and beauty, giving priority to his subjects soul and personality: finally real women without veils and artifices, the overwhelming beauty of uniqueness.
