10 days dedicated to photography under the motto "The Day Will Come". Exhibitions at museums, cultural institutions and a container city, international conference, artist talks, workshops, portfolio reviews, parties, nightly slideshows.
“Automated cameras, miniature de
vices the size of a grain of salt, cameras that capture odors
,
cameras in which the focus can be adjusted after the shot ... the new aesthetic possibil
ities of photography
have changed the way we look at the wor
ld. But a picture is still
a picture. Since
the camera is not a robot with
artificial intelligence, the human behind the machi
ne is still the crucial factor,”
says Krzysztof Candrowicz,
curator of the Triennial of Photography Hamburg,
as he
describ
es
the future of the image and of photography.
Th
is
is the central theme of this year’
s Triennial of Photography, which will take place in Hamburg for the sixth
time from 18 to 28 Jun
e 2015.
Exhibitions
will be held not only at the city’
s eight leading museums and
cultural
institutions,
but also
at
gallerie
s, in containers and in the old w
arehouses that make up the city’s new Creative
C
enter. Hamburg is thus once again the center for photography in Germany in 2015.
From Berenice Abbott and David Hockney, to Lynn Hershman Leeson, Yto Barrada
,
and Josephine
P
ryde, to Catherine Balet, Phillip Toledano
,
and Henrik Spohler:
over ten days, the Triennial will focus on
extraordinary ideas, enthusiasm and commitment to photography, in lectures, films, projections, encounters
and exhibitions that will continue well be
yond the festival period. For ten days, not only photography and art
enthusiasts but also a mainstream audience will have the opportunity to discover and experience photography
in all its
diverse
dimensions.
The
Triennial of Photography Hamburg
In 1999, the first Triennial of Photography Hamburg, initiated by the photographer and collector
F.
C. Gundlach, took place at four museums and cultural institutions as well as forty galleries and other
locations.
At
the last Triennial
,
in 2011, the number of e
xhibitors had more than doubled and the shows
attract
ed
over
200,
000 visitors. We hope to inte
rest even more visitors
with
the extensive program
of events
and exhibitions
this year
,
especially
those organized by our European neighbo
rs.
The
topic for 2015
The motto of the Triennial
,
“THE DAY WILL COME”, a Biblical quotation, serves as an inspiration to imagine
a
future, a future of photography in a technical sense, but especially in terms of aesthetics. In an
interdisciplinary cooperation, curators, artists, futurologists, and sociol
ogists will build a bridge into the
future
and will evaluate the various aspects from different points of view.
The curator
Artistic director
of the Triennial is the curator
Krzysztof Candrowicz, who is responsible for the entire program
of the
international festival.
Krzysztof Candrowicz, 35, is founder and director of the International Photofestival
Łódź, the Foundation of
Visual Education, and the Łódź Art Center, Poland. In 2004, he founded
PhotoFestivalUnion, a network of thirty European pho
to festivals. In additio
n,
Candrowicz is
a
guest curator
and gives lectures at
many European and international organizations.
