FRAMING IDENTITY © Espen Rasmussen, White Rage, USA 2017

Espen Rasmussen White Rage In spring 2016 Espen Rasmussen started a two year long journey through the darkest places in Europe and the U.S. He met fascists, Nazis and other extreme nationalists. Two questions constantly arose: What drives these people?

Why do they hate?

Franziska Gilli Bambola © Franziska Gilli, Bambola, 2018

How is gender represented in the media, who defines it and what does it tell about us as a society? Bambola (‘doll’) takes us behind the production of Italian tv-shows, in which women are still reduced to showgirls – even after #MeToo.

© Marco Marzocchi, Oyster 2016

Marco Marzocchi Oyster Are you still a product of your parents even if they have never been there for you? What shapes the identity? Oyster is a visual diary about a childhood and youth dominated by absence and taboos, told in a personal and open minded visual language.

Subject, existence and identity

Pit stop on your way to the festival center Mathias Svold and Ulrik Hasemann COASTLAND In Denmark you are never more than 50 kilometres from the ocean, and the coastline remains a deeply ingrained part of Danish identity. The exhibition about life along the Danish coastline is presented at The Bridge Street Kitchen (Broens Gadekøkken) and in Culturetower (Kulturtårnet) at Knippelsbro.

Little Photo island Outside La Banchina you’ll find a small island with a single art piece by Mary Frey. Enjoy it from the landside and go see the complete exhibition at Copenhagen Contemporary. The concept Copenhagen Islands is designed by the design and production company Fokstrot and architect Marshall Blecher. Little photo island is realised with the support of By & Havn.

MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHERS Talk and guided tour with Garrett O. Hansen and Mathias Løvgreen June 9 11am - 1pm What happens when you get your inspiration in the intersection between art and technology? Meeting point 1 Talk and guided tour with Espen Rasmussen, Franziska Gilli and Jana Sophia Nolle June 9 2pm - 4pm.

How do you visualize political challenges? Meeting point 2 Talk and guided tour with Mathias Svold og Ulrik Hasemann: COASTLAND The Bridge Street Kitchen (Broens Gadekøkken) June 12 5pm - 6pm + Culturetower at Knippelsbro (Kulturtårnet) June 13 4pm - 6pm. Both for free.

How can we decode whether a photography is staged or not, and why are Frey’s photographies so convincing? Meeting point 4

Performances in KOMA RETREAT June 6 6pm - 9pm / June 7 3pm - 5pm / June 8-9 and 15 1pm-3pm.

The Royal Danish Ballet dancers Eukene Sagüés, Samuel Scott Rees and Tobias Praetorius will do a performance in a meditative exploration of the room and each other.

Panel discussion: Photography in the public debate June 6 4-6pm

Freedom of speech, identity and democracy.

All over Europe, right-winged movements are gaining influence as a reaction to the arrival of refugees and migrants in recent years. In company of photographers, journalists and debaters, we will discuss how we administer freedom of speech and whether photography can build bridges in a divided Europe. The discussion is followed by the grand opening of this year’s photo festival.

Tickets are available online at copenhagenphotofestival.com and in the festival ticket spots 1 and 2

Copenhagen has been named ‘the most liveable city in the world’ several times, and we have seen many beautiful vistas of the Danish capital, but reality is always far more complex. The exhibition of the books in the series The Year, Copenhagen 2018 is now presented as an installation you can dive into.

HIGHLIGHTS © Mads Skarsteen Andersen, 2018

Behind the Year, Copenhagen 2018 book installation

How much is our home – house or tent – the determining factor for our social group? How much does being homeless define somebody who might also be intelligent, creative and social? The contrast between the resources of the homeless and the rich meet in Living Room.

Do we evolve or conduct ourselves as humans in the meeting with the digital? Is it still possible for us to retreat from the everyday stress of the city? This video installation and performances explore how the digital technology affects our lives.

What is a weapon? Can you create something new out of something that takes lives? Can you use aesthetics as an antidote to the gruesome in society? HAIL is an attempt at making us aware of the American weapons culture and its related debate on weapons.

What is staged and what is not, when we e.g. see pictures on Instagram? Frey’s pictures of the American middle class are located between snapshots and staged photography. They are very convincing yet distant. Is authenticity in photography a flexible thing and how must we deal with it?
