Organizer: National Centre for
Contemporary Arts, Kaliningrad Branch, Russia


Senior curator: Yevgeny
Umansky


Curator: Elena Gladkova


Editing: Oleg Lystsov


 


On February 16, 2007 the Kaliningrad Branch
off the National Centre for Contemporary Arts will present its program of
slide-films Photophobia within the framework of the third international biennial
of photography Photomania-2007 at the Kaliningrad Art Gallery (Moscow prospect, 60-62). Photographers
and artists from Russia, Kazakhstan, Germany, Sweden, Greece, Iceland, Austria, Norway and Great Britain participate in the
project.


 


The “Photophobia”
project does not aim to refuse from photography as art form, the title is
rather an invitation to reflect on contemporary photography and forms of its
existence and representation. Technologies allow refusing from traditional
printing and creating multimedia projects with sound, subtitles, special
effects, etc. 


 


“Photophobia” is: 


- a fear to freeze
on a gallery wall in the form of a print,


- access for wider
audience due to new media,


- aspiration to new
forms of existence of photography,


- democratic
approach and absence of professional restrictions
