Warsaw invites all to Photo Days!

Warsaw Photo Days was launched in 2013 by the  OW ZPAF's initiative. The first edition of the festival took place in Warsaw, Poland in October 2013. The main mission behind the festival is to create a room that will enable the broad exposure of various forms of photography medium, from both historical and contemporary perspectives.

Last year we were thrilled to participate in a partnership with Warsaw Photo Days resulting in a large section of our issue #14 being dedicated to the initiative. This year is no different and we are discovering Warsaw again for more.

The second edition of the festival will kick off this Friday, October 24th ( facebook event )and will run under a theme of 'IDENTIFICATION', as understood broadly.The Main Program will consist of three collective exhibitions displaying Polish artists.

'RECOGNITION', the first one, will focus on the subject of typological photography - in which the author records repetitive motifs via portraits. 'SIGNATURE' exhibition will look into the subjective matters of paper, print and negative, in relation to an artist and as a result of which an unique output is being created. What defines a signature? What truly the mark of an artist is? The theme of the third exhibition, 'MARKED PLACES', construes the subject of presence and relativity to various events in time and space. As such, this relation may not always be obvious or visible, and as a matter of fact will not be easily defined. What defines this photographic relevancy? Would it be a case of aesthetics, a matter of composition or a colour or form used... or is it all just a mere packaging and what's important is somewhat concealed and has to be revealed for us to experience.
