#9 Architecture
“Architecture” is one of the oldest themes to be explored in photography. We may even with a slight degree of exaggeration mention in this category the very first known photograph in the history of the medium – Niépce’s “View from the Window”. An apparent “technical nature” and dispassionate objectiveness are the received misconceptions that outsiders often ascribe to this field of photography.

Alžběta Bačíková

While Alžběta Bačíková’s experimental approach to documentary puts the transparency of the filmic medium in parenthesis, this self-reflexive attitude does not operate at the expense of creating an empathic relation between artist and protagonist, subject and viewer…

Sidsel Meineche Hansen

One hot summer day, I happened to reach for H. G. Wells’s 1923 novel Men Like Gods. In it, Wells presents his idea of the world of Utopia. People here are precisely carved castings of ancient deities representing the ideal potential development of our society at some point millenia in the future…
