Through the city’s photo archive, we remember the first decades of the last century. Back then, Landskrona was in the process of establishing itself as the absolute centre of the Scandinavian aviation industry. Today, the city aspires to the title “The Home of Photography in Scandinavia”. Landskrona Foto Festival is just one of many ways of achieving that.

15

MEMORY IS CONSTRUCTED (I).

We all carry ideas about who we are as a group, as a society and as a country, but how are these stories of identity created and maintained? The Landskrona Foto Festival theme �The Architecture of Memory� encourages reflection on topics related to the structural mechanisms supporting the construction of collective memory.

From the recording of historical events and the dominant narratives emanating from them, and how the dynamics behind both public and family archives shape a collective perception of individual and shared identities. To the stories behind migrating communities due to conflict, and how the fluidity of borderlines across centuries offer complexed narratives. The climate change crisis presents a new challenge for visual narrators, turning the photographic tradition of capturing the sublime natural world into a forensic exercise of documenting a disappearing wonder.

The festival’s programme addressed various areas of enquiry using the contemporary gaze to revise the past in its aim to open future debate. Works were thematically curated into chapters and exhibited in outdoor and indoor clusters, in dialogue with the inhabited everyday locations.

MEMORY IS CONSTRUCTED (II).

Landskrona Foto Festival is organised by Landskrona Foto, the umbrella term used since 2013 to designate a centre for the photographic image, covering activities such as exhibitions, collections, events and residencies. Our aim is to become Europe’s most relevant meeting place for photography – where the established and the experimental come together and stimulate the general public’s understanding of photography and its value to society.

This vision was expressed during 18 days in September 2020 when the 7th edition of Landskrona Foto Festival took place, featuring photographers such as Susan Meiselas, Patrik Waterhouse, Britta Jaschinski, Klaus Thymann, Silvia Rosi, Anton Kusters, Sim Chi Yin, and many others. The programme included a total of 22 exhibitions by photographers from 17 different countries. The exhibited works were a part of the public space, visible in parks and shops, as well as in museums and galleries.

Landskrona Foto Festival 2020 was the first year with Monica Allende as artistic director. She had previously been artistic director of the photo festival Format17 in the UK and the international photo festival Getxo Photo in the Basque Country, and she has worked as picture editor for The Sunday Times Magazine. She put her own stamp on the the festival by thematically grouping the exhibitions in chapters and displaying them in clusters outdoors and indoors, in dialogue with inhabited everyday places. “The Architecture of Memory” was the theme running through the exhibitions, and Allende created a dialogue with the city’s population by posing questions such as: Who are we?

Where do we come from? What is the collective memory of who we are? What is the collective memory of Landskrona Foto Festival 2020? That question is answered in part by the brochure you are holding in your hand.

BRITTA JASCHINSKI

IT’S EASY TO TAKE PHOTOS, BUT IT’S HARD TO TAKE THOSE THAT MATTER. MEANINGFUL PHOTOGRAPHS WILL OPEN EYES – BECOME WINDOWS INTO OTHERWISE HIDDEN WORLDS. THE ONES THAT BECOME ICONIC MAY HURT BUT THEY WILL HELP. THEY ARE IMPORTANT COMMODITIES AND SHOULD BE VALUED HIGHLY, BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM, SOCIETY’S CONSCIENCE WILL FADE AWAY.

At a time when photography is more instant than ever before, when everybody is photographing everything around them, strong concepts and clear visual ideas are crucial. It’s about creating an exciting visual space, about stirring up emotion, provoking discussion. About getting people to think about these images, their context, their transformations and the possible future impact.

HEAT OF SAND BY SATOSHI TSUCHIYAMA – DUMMY SILVIA AWARD ROSIWINNER | ENCOUNTER 2020 :

EXHIBITIONS: PROJECT PRESSURE | EDWARD BURTYNSKY, PETER FUNCH, NOÉMIE GOUDAL, SIMON NORFOLK AND KLAUS THYMANN Project Pressure’s mission is to make the climate crisis visible. Established photographers are assigned to carry out expeditions in different places around the world. The project started in 2008, with the aim of putting pressure on governments and individuals so that we can change our behaviour, to reduce our negative impact on the planet and contribute to a better future.

BRITTA JASCHINSKI, PHOTOGRAPHERS AGAINST WILDLIFE CRIME | WILDLIFE OR COMMODITY? Jaschinski puts animal trafficking in the spotlight. Her unique photojournalistic style envisions the human exploitation of wildlife. Among her work we see elephant feet that will become footstools and animal heads to be put on walls. The greedy demand for products made of animal parts leads to the fact that many species are threatened with extinction. Jaschinski says that the battle is almost lost. Soon all elephants, rhinos, tigers, lions and giraffes will be out of stock.

JESSICA PETTWAY | PLASTIC The food products in the pictures were bought in local grocery stores in Landskrona and photographed in Pettway’s studio in New York. Plastic is a controversial material. On the one hand it is cheap, hygienic and sterile. On the other hand it has highly negative consequences for the environment. The sterility of plastic alienates the consumer from agriculture and the origin of food. Where does this demand for artificiality come? From the consumer or from industry?

SACKITEY TESA | REFASHIONED EVERYDAY OBJECTS Tesa combines elements of clothing, art, portraits and landscapes. He has created an unconventional style in fashion photography. The models in Tesa’s pictures are mainly neighbours, family and friends. Clothes and props are made by the photographer from various things that he can find, and he believes recycled object possess a special force.

EMILY GRAHAM | THE PALACE This is a series of photographs from places in central France, including potential sites for the burial of nuclear waste. How do we warn the people of the future about this nuclear waste? Graham’s photo series has a language of its own, and it tells a story about a different language – a symbolic language that must inhibit human curiosity for all time.

ZIYAH GAFIC´ | QUEST FOR IDENTITY The series is a forensic depiction of objects, documents and photographs found in the mass graves after the Srebrenica massacre. In 2010 Gafic´ began to systematically document the thousands of things that had been dug up.

79

Homes have been destroyed, bodies have decomposed, and the survivors have been scattered over the world. The photographs make up an archive, a kind of encyclopaedia that says something about those who were murdered. About their dreams and ambitions. The work is still in progress.

SUSAN MEISELAS | KURDISTAN Meiselas is a documentary photographer who has devoted decades to covering wars and conflicts. Between 1991 and 2008 she visited Kurdistan several times to document the region. She also collected material and created a book of documents from the Kurds’ hidden history. The selection of Meiselas’ photographs has been chosen by Monica Allende, artistic director of Landskrona Foto Festival.

PATRICK WATERHOUSE | RESTRICTED IMAGES: MADE WITH THE WARLPIRI OF CENTRAL AUSTRALIA For the past seven years Waterhouse has been taking photographs in Central Australia and acquiring documents that retrace Australia’s colonial history.

Waterhouse took his photographs – along with archival material obtained from museums and auctions – to the remote desert communities of Yuendumu and Nyirippi in Central Australia, where the Warlpiri indigenous group lives.

He asked members of the Warlukurlangu Art Center to revise the documents through the traditional Aboriginal technique of dot painting. Drawing upon their own stories and traditions, the artists applied layers of colourful patterns and symbols to the documents. This process can be seen as defacement, a correction of what was there, or the revelation of something that had always been hidden beneath the surface.

MINNESBANKEN | GLIMPSES OF OUR PAST Exploring visual historical archives offer glimpses of previous existences. People shopping in the high street, working in industries or walking through the familiar landscape. By looking at the places we see every day, through the lens of history, we are presented with the possibility to reimagine our surroundings. The Artistic Director for Landskrona Foto Festival, Monica Allende, has searched through the photo collection at Landskrona Museums to find glimpses of our past.

ROGER EBERHARD | HUMAN TERRITORIALITY Eberhard’s work explores borders drawn and dissolved, and what’s invisible becomes the true story. Eberhard has “portrayed” vanished borders. Some were dissolved naturally, and others disappeared when power changed hands. The images challenge the arbitrary nature of borders, how they can both protect and cause damage.

HRAIR SARKISSIAN | UNEXPOSED The series is about the descendants of the Armenians who converted to Islam to escape the genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Today, after rediscovering their roots and converting back to Christianity, these descendants

80

are forced to conceal their new-found Armenian identity. They are not accepted by the Turkish or the Armenian community and therefore remain invisible. These photographs play with what is visible and invisible and how we as observers fill in what is missing.

CLEMENTE BERNAD | DONDE HABITA EL RECUERDO On 17 July 1936, the Spanish Civil War began with Franco’s attempted coup. In the subsequent years, hundreds of thousands of people disappeared. Donde Habita el Recuerdo (Where Memory Lives) is Bernad’s documentation, which he began in 2003, of the forensic work of charting the atrocities of the era. The photographs are a tribute to the people whose demand for justice preserved the memory of those who disappeared.

ANTON KUSTERS | THE BLUE SKIES PROJECT The project consists of 1,078 polaroid images taken of the sky above the 1,078 concentration camps that existed in Nazi Germany. Stamped on each image are the coordinates of the place and the estimated number of victims in each camp. The work includes a soundpiece by Ruben Samana which lasts for 4,432 days, the same length of time that the Nazi concentration camps were active.

Every victim is represented by a note.

LESIA MARUSCHAK | PROJECT MARIA The project is based on a photograph of Maria F, a girl who survived the Holodomor famine (1932–33) in Soviet Ukraine. Four million people starved to death during Joseph Stalin’s terror. Maruschak herself is of Ukrainian descent and heard people retelling their memories of the Holodomor in her childhood. These memories never left her. In the exhibition Maruschak chisels out Maria’s fate and portrays the relationship between the past and the present.

ANAÏS LÓPEZ | THE MIGRANT In a hotel room in Singapore, a Javan myna, a bird in the starling family, came to López to tell her its life story. López listened to the bird and created the work The Migrant. The Javan myna is an endangered species, threatened by humans. The Migrant is a study in storytelling. With equal parts of documentary and fable, with imagination and humour, López tells the Javan myna’s story.

SIM CHI YIN | ONE DAY WE’LL UNDERSTAND / REMNANTS & REQUIEM In this multimedia project Chi Yin exposes hidden traces of the Malayan crisis, a conflict between the British colonial power and the Malaysian left. Sim Chi Yin’s grandfather was a communist who was executed in 1949. In some circles, her grandfather is seen as a freedom fighter, in others as a terrorist. In his own family, he became an unmentionable person. The photographs fill out gaps between the fragments of the time and make this history more complete.

SILVIA ROSI | ENCOUNTER From a place in the diaspora, Rosi examines her parents’ history and culture.

81

Her story is both personal and universal. The photographs include self-portraits in which she dresses up as her mother and father, with an aesthetic that is commonly found in West African photo studios. Is it possible to create a family album in retrospect, to bring together what has been broken up?

YIM SUI FONG | THE MAN WHO ATTENDS TO THE TIMES This work is an homage to Sui Fong’s father. Between 1971 and 2000, her father was a caretaker of the Government Supplies Department. Sui Fong explores her father’s life at this workplace. She assumes her father’s role as timekeeper and creates new material from the same place. Her work is a low-key testimony about her father. It is also a testimony about transformation and differences in the zeitgeist.

LEE KAI CHUNG | RETRIEVAL, RESTORATION & PREDICAMENT The work is told through several different media. Kai Chung investigates what happened to various artefacts, for example eleven bronze statues, during and after World War II. The work shows how time and ideology can change even things that are literally cast in metal. The transformation of the objects symbolizes people’s movement and metamorphosis.

MAJA DANIELS | ELF DALIA Inspired by her family roots in Älvdalen (Sweden). Daniels has produced the series Elf Dalia. Her own photographs are mixed with older pictures from the area. Daniels links the past to the present and weaves a narrative that arises at the intersection of documentation and fiction. She explores people and class, what language and imagery can carry in relation to a regional culture.

PARALLEL INTERSECTION 2020 | UNDER (DE)CONSTRUCTION Parallel is a platform that brings together creative European organizations to promote cross-cultural exchange and mentoring, with a view to establishing new guidelines in contemporary photography. The members include museums, galleries, cultural centres, festivals, art schools and publishers – 18 of the most vibrant European cultural hubs from 16 different countries.

LANDSKRONA FOTO ONLINE PORTFOLIO REVIEW In connection with Landskrona Foto Festival, the festival arranges a Portfolio Review for professional photographers and photo-based artists. This year we arranged an Online Portfolio Review in collaboration with Portfolio Dialogue.

With 46 international experts and photographers from all over the world participating.

Each festival we select the “Landskrona Foto and Artproof Portfolio of the Year Award”. The winner gets to exhibit at the next Landskrona Foto Festival, and receives up to a value of 1500 euro for the production of the exhibition.

Winner 2020: Chow and Lin (MYS/SG).

Motivation: Chow and Lin’s work on the human impact on the environmental crisis and global poverty addresses topics of immediate universal concern, their artistic gift is to visualize complexed scientific data into what appears an effortless endeavour.

Honourable mentions: Rebecca Najdowski, (US) and Michael Honegger, (DE).

CLAËS LEWENHAUPT SCHOLARSHIP 2020 Claës Lewenhaupt’s scholarship fund for young photographers was funded in 1990. The intention of the foundation is to promote young photographers’ possibility to develop or fulfil a photographic idea through a yearly distribution.

Scholar 2020: Martin Brink (SE).

Motivation by the foundation’s chairman Tonie Lewenhaupt: Martin Brink walks across meadows, through groves, past houses without anything happening. His camera ponders, waits and watches. Close and easy. Martin walks in everyday life. In the difficult obviousness. He does not seek idyll or melancholy. Neither does the drama or the transience. Martin does not long for the goal. The experience of time, the ordinary, makes us companions.

84

LANDSKRONA FOTO AND BREADFIELD DUMMY AWARD The award was established in 2015 and is handed out to the photographer with the most interesting photobook idea at Landskrona Foto Festival. The award means that the chosen photographer has their “Dummy Project” published.

The book is printed, designed and distributed in 2021. This year we received 294 applications from 37 countries.

Winner 2020: Satoshi Tsuchiyama (JP) Heat of Sand.

Motivation: This is a story that is anything but black and white. In Heat of Sand there is a feeling of humans reckoning with an existential threat through a physicality that only humans are capable of. It gives the sense that humans must adapt when faced with the complexities of our world; conflict and terror, environmental or political threats. Rather than giving up or escaping in fear, the nature of people is to seek ways to persist and to survive.

Honourable mentions: Franziska Rieder (DE) 1-212-529-1432: Voice Messages from late 90s New York City. Christopher Rodriguez (US) Afterlife and Robin Hinsch (DE) Wahala.

Were there any people at the festival?

LANDSKRONA FOTO FESTIVAL 2020

Like the rest of the world, Landskrona Foto Festival 2020 was affected by the ongoing pandemic. We are happy that we succeeded in accomplishing all the planned exhibitions, despite the circumstances. No audience records were broken due to travel and corona restrictions, but large numbers of visitors came from the local region. Events and meeting places took on new digital forms. For example, we used QR codes at our exhibitions that guided the user to video footage where the photographers spoke about their works (many photographers had been prevented from travelling to Landskrona). Using the QR codes on the following pages, you can experience the ambivalent yet promising feeling of a downsized festival – while we look forward to Landskrona Foto Festival 2022.
