Huxley-Parlour are pleased to announce Pathfinders, an exhibition presenting important photographic works by Ilse Bing, Kati Horna and Dora Maar. Though shaped by different trajectories, these three artists shared an acute sensitivity to modern life: its velocity, its fragmentation, and its dislocations. Working in the shadow of political upheaval, each turned their camera toward the street, the surreal, and the overlooked, forging a new visual language for the Modern age.

Ilse Bing, Self Portrait with Leica Camera, Paris, 1931
Though each artist navigated her own distinct practice, seen together, these three singular takes on Modernism chart a path of reinvention. Their work spanned decades and continents, moving from Surrealist inflected street photography to experimentation with photomontage, solarisation and other darkroom techniques. Pathfinders brings three oeuvres into dialogue, illuminating how each shaped photography as a mode of modern seeing. Their artistic trajectories echo those of countless other creatives displaced by war and authoritarianism, figures whose lives were rerouted by history and whose visions bear the imprint of exile. Together, Bing, Horna, and Maar forged new routes shaped by resistance, reinvention, and the imagination.
