Launch of Fotograf Magazine #49 Talk Together

Fotograf Magazine is undergoing a transformation: it is evolving from a magazine into a bookmag, a more extensive yearbook with deeper thematic layers. The first issue in its new form is entitled Talk Together and focuses on language – verbal, visual, and digital – as a tool of communication, power, and identity.
The launch will take place during the opening ceremony of the Fotograf Zone Festival, whose theme this year makes it a natural continuation of the gallery’s program focused on language.
Join the launch and opening, connect with international guests of the festival and participants of the Futures Annual Event, and help us open up a space for lively dialogue, exchange, and celebration.

Open Group – Repeat After Me 2022
The project Repeat After Me 2022 by the creative collective Open Group works with sound as the primary carrier of wartime experience. Instead of images of destruction, it focuses on the acoustic trace of conflict—on the sounds of weapons, explosions, sirens, and silence, which inscribe themselves into the bodies and memories of people living through war or forced exile. The ability to recognize these sounds is not a matter of artistic or sociological experiment; however experimental its aesthetics may be, it signals an effort to survive.

Too close to remember
The exhibition explores the theme of synaesthesis – i.e. a reaction of the body and mind and an experience that melds the sensory modalities of diverse entities existing in the digital, posthuman and technological environments. The project develops the discourse on various approaches to perception, especially in reference to the crisis of authenticity of human sensory perception that finds itself under pressure from contemporary power structures, surveillance and production.
