Leica & Magnum Photos Present: Generation X – Werner Bischof in India and Japan from Leica Camera on Vimeo.
In the 1950s Magnum created portfolios for “Generation X”. Every photographer was given a group project: the task of portraying the new generation in the country he was visiting. The selected individuals were each interviewed using the same questionnaire, herein creating a fascinating portrait of a future generation. “Generation X” was published throughout the world.
