Bridges span rivers, connect cities, and carry us over what once seemed impassable. Where once there was only a divide — a river too wide, a ravine too deep — now there is a line drawn through space. We drive over bridges, walk across them, sometimes without even thinking. Yet Michael Kenna impressively photographs these bridges stretching across the globe in a unique light of the feat of human construction through time.
To open the fall 2025 season, Robert Mann Gallery is pleased to announce, The Bridges of Michael Kenna, on view from September 4 through October 18, 2025.
Kenna’s first show with Robert Mann Gallery opened in 1997 around the time the movie, The Bridges of Madison County was released; a moving love story about a photographer on an assignment to shoot historic bridges. Kenna shares this fascination in capturing these structures, “Bridge structures are usually geometric and stationary with straight lines, verticals, horizontals and other angular constructs. The universe is constantly moving, flowing organic, uncontrollable and unpredictable. The abstract relationship between the two, almost like yin and yang, can be visually stunning and continues to fascinate and attract me.”
