Prague hosts unique photography festival

Fotograf Festival, which takes place in Prague until the 18th of October, is a festival of photography, which explores the relationship between contemporary art and photography. A series of exhibitions and film screenings in several locations in Prague will be organised, as well as lectures, debates with artists and performances. The motto of this year's festival is 'Uneven Ground'. Come to explore the unknown, the unexpected, the other. In eight connected exhibitions, organisers offer various perspectives, creating and examining connections between artists from different generations and places, as well as between photographers and their models or objects. In doing so, they connect not only one person with another, but also the known with the unknown.

Participating artists

Works by the American filmmaker Shelly Silver and the Czech artist Alžběta Bačíková, which focus on video and film language, will be introduced as part of several exhibitions. Austrian photographer Sophie Thun will exhibit her new work on a joint exhibition with the photographer Birgit Jürgenssen.

Several German photographers will show their works at the festival, some contemporary, such as Andrzej Steinbach, Heji Shin and Kristin Loschert; others who become renowned in former East Germany, including Gundula Schulze Eldowy, Gabriele Stötzer and Tina Bara. The exhibitions will also bring a new perspective of the Czechs artists Pavel Heček, Miloš Šejn, Zdeněk Lhoták and Jolana Havelková.
