Fotofestiwal 2024 Open Program finalists!
Six unique projects selected from over 1210 propositions – we’re happy to announce the Open Program exhibitions.
The Open Program provides an overview of current phenomena in photography and a look at topics of interest to photographers. Each year, the jury strives to prepare a coherent but diverse selection that best reflects currently relevant narratives.
Among this year’s submissions committed projects dealing with socially important issues such as migration, climate change, identity, roots, conflicts, and minorities were present, but there were also many very personal stories.
From among 1210 projects, the jury selected works by six artists:
➔ Lavinia Parlamenti and Manfredi Pantanella – “An Atlas of Countries That ‘don’t exist’“ / Italy
➔ Marcel Top – “Reversed Surveillance” / Belgium/UK
➔ Peter Pflügler – “Now Is Not The Right Time” / Austria/Netherlands
➔ Adrien Selbert – “The Real Edges” / France
➔ Tomasz Jan Kawecki – “In Praise of Shadow” / Poland➔ Camilla de Maffei – “The Great Father” / Italy
CONGRATULATIONS!
