Hi, you, coming from Insta

Hi, visitor from the void of Instagram. Welcome to FOTOTREFF Berlin. Come in, take your time. Look around and – let’s talk about photography.

Here are some recommendations for you to start with:

 

  • FOTOTREFF #40 on March 16 2024: War at a distance

    The 40th edition of FOTOTREFF, titled War at a Distance, focuses on images of war: their production, mediation and reception. In the first part of the evening, photojournalist Julia Kochetova, Sebastian Wells, photographer and editor of Soлomiya Magazine and photo editor, curator and lecturer Tobias Laukemper will talk about the challenges that photographers, the media and we as viewers face when it comes to images of war and conflict.

    In the second talk of the evening, curator Natasha Christia from Barcelona will present her book exhibition project War at a Distance in conversation with photographer Alfonso Moral (ANTI-books): A compilation of publications characterized by a reflexive attitude towards war and the media, far from the classic reporting.

    In addition to the talks at FOTOTREFF Berlin, we will present the photo book exhibition War at a Distance, a reading room where curator Natasha Christia brings together 21 books for an expanded narrative on the implications of distance in an era of visual warfare hyper-connectivity.
