A new photography exhibition focusing on Nine Inch Nails is set to open in London this autumn.

‘The Downward Spiral Exhibition’ will feature images of the Trent Reznor-lend band, taken by celebrated documentarian and close friend of the band, Jonathan Rach.

Rach took the photos during the band’s global Self Destruct tour between 1994-1996, which saw the group celebrating their second album The Downward Spiral.

The exhibition will take place at 2 Hoxton Street in London between October 16-20 and comes after the photos were initially exhibited in Australia earlier this year.

“The exhibition includes several exclusive photos that had laid unseen for more than 25 years. Over 30 incredible images will be on display showcasing an array of both personal and pivotal moments for the band taken during the ‘Self Destruct’ world tour and supported by Nine Inch Nails,” a description states.

In addition, the collection also features photos of David Bowie and Lou Reed, alongside moments from Nine Inch Nails’ celebrated six-night run at the Hollywood Palladium in 2018.

Nine Inch Nails said: “Our friend Jonathan Rach’s photography exhibition is celebrating his iconic photos taken during NIN’s 1994-1996 ‘Self Destruct’ tour.”

In a statement, Rach explained: “To be able to show this collection of photography after some 25 years and see how fans connected to them has been such a rewarding and unexpected gift.

“I am looking forward to meeting everyone and showing some of the new images I’ve recently found and talking about these captured moments in music history as part of the celebration in London.”

Stephen Dallimore, Behind The Gallery’s Creative Director, said: “It’s extremely exciting to be able to bring this unique collection to London, as the feedback from the Australian show was something special and it’s great for the UK Nine Inch Nails community to get to experience it.

“This is an insight into a pivotal moment in the band’s career and Jonathan was there to capture all of it, before the days of social media. It’ll be a special event for the fans and collectors, this is not to be missed!”
