Corbijn Sessions #3: Enjoy the Silence Night Shift
February 6, 20:00–0:00
Corbijn Sessions at Fotografiska
Corbijn Sessions is a music-focused special program accompanying the entire Anton Corbijn exhibition at Fotografiska. It showcases a mix of large and small, intimate and crowded, intense and vibrant Corbijn experiences, including parties, DJ sets, performances, film screenings, workshops, special tours, and more.
Music Quiz x Night Shift
The first week of February marks 36 years since the release of Depeche Mode’s legendary single “Enjoy the Silence.”
“Words are very unnecessary,” sang Dave Gahan – and from that moment, the music world felt different, with the enjoyment of silence becoming music in its own right.
In celebration of this milestone, Corbijn Sessions takes over Fotografiska’s Night Shift on 6 February. From 20:00, the museum switches to night shift: music a little louder, lights slightly dimmer, and drinks a touch more spirited – the perfect mix for a Friday evening.
At 20:30, the exhibition hall hosts a Corbijn-themed music quiz (in Estonian) led by Aleksander Puumets, one of the driving forces behind Tallinn’s music quiz scene. The quiz lasts approximately 40 minutes.
The musical atmosphere continues until midnight with DJ Jaan Jaago. On this evening, Fotografiska’s cocktail curator Regor serves Corbijn-inspired cocktails to enjoy.
On Fridays, the exhibitions remain open until midnight, from 20:00 entry €10. Fotografiska Membership holders enter for free.
Anton Corbijn at Fotografiska: 24 January – 30 April
Anton Corbijn’s unmistakable visual signature has powerfully shaped the language of contemporary music and culture. The legendary photographer’s major retrospective, Corbijn, Anton, travels through five creative decades of his career – each frame steeped in the artist’s characteristic twilight, inhabited by someone who truly matters.
Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition opens up an authentic and extraordinary world, where Depeche Mode, David Bowie, U2, Patti Smith, and many others look back at us – figures who have left their mark, and whose mark Corbijn has in turn shaped. The experience is enriched by a video room bringing together Corbijn’s videography and iconic music videos that have defined generations.
Corbijn’s legacy and footprint in music are rock-solid – and this exhibition is a celebration of exactly that.
