Slumdog Millionaire

Jonas Bendiksen is the first Norwegian, and Nordic, photographer to become member of the prestigious photography agency MAGNUM, represented in Norway by All Over Press. Bendiksens works have been published in international magazines such as National Geographic, GEO, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, The Independent on Sunday Review, The Sunday Times Magazine, Mother Jones and Le Monde II.

The exhibition – a unique multimedia installation – challenges viewers to reflect on what it means to live in a city in the 21st century. Bendiksen has visited four slums selected according to geographical spread and variation. He depicts various aspects of slum life, from worst-offs to slum chiefs.
