Fotofestiwal Łódź 2025: Systems, Spectacle, and Subversion in the Heart of Post-Industrial Poland.

From June 12 to 22, Łódź once again becomes a charged arena for contemporary photography. The 24th edition of Fotofestiwal sprawls across more than 20 venues, from repurposed textile factories to public squares, each site revealing how image-making confronts the systems that shape — and often constrain — daily life.
The theme this year is precise: the invisible architectures of power, ideology, and belief. But the programme doesn’t settle for essays in theory. It moves between subversive installations, AI-generated experiments, archives of protest, and portraits of resistance — across Poland and far beyond.

Outside the main venue, the SpinOFF programme stretches across Łódź, with over 30 independently curated exhibitions responding to the festival’s central themes. Among them is a show of historic photography at the Museum of the City of Łódź, and a solo by Sophie Thun at the Muzeum Sztuki, known for her tactile, process-based work that challenges authorship and reproduction.

This year’s Futures Talents — five artists selected as part of the European platform for emerging photographers — are given prominent space, alongside the finalists of the Open Programme, whose works range from intimate personal narratives to large-scale sociopolitical investigations.

On the main festival weekend, Łódź’s industrial past finds new energy in Ravekjavik, a sound and music programme pulsing through abandoned textile warehouses.

Curators' Talk with Amina Ahmed and Maya Hristova

The curators of the exhibition are going to have a conversation offering insights into the artists’ photographic language as it has evolved since the beginning of the war, analyzing the emergence of new modes of subjectivity within the contemporary Ukrainian photographic context.

Ukrainian author, Amina Ahmed, who has been conducting long-term interviews with the selected artists, is going to give an overview and reveal details about their current research and artistic practice. Founder of EEP, Maya Hristova is going to share the story of RGULAR as a support initiative and how what is happening currently in Ukraine fits into the larger context of Eastern European photography. While re-examining the notion of the photograph as factual evidence, recognizing its malleability, the curators concentrate on the medium's potential to witness violence, be reflective of nuanced individual perspectives, and contest dominant narratives that are only now slowly starting to deviate from established forms of discourse.

The showcase forms the basis for an upcoming book of the same name and is a part of the curators' ongoing research.

This Friday, 24 of February 2023, we’re honored to invite you to see the work of Ukrainian photographers Vic Bakin, Nazar Furyk, Yana Kononova, Viacheslav Poliakov and Elena Subach, the five selected recipients of EEP’s support initiative RGULAR.

Opening: 24 Feb 2023 7PM

‘Ukraine. Work-in-Progress’ showcases a selection from the artists’ work from the past year. As the name suggests, the offered perspective does not focus on one completed series, rather, it attempts to offer the viewer a selection of key insights into the artists’ visual language as it was affected by the war. The research focus is devoted to the process, the fragile and long work of the artist in the field of war, the impossibility of concluding a statement — a condition familiar to most of the actors in the Ukrainian cultural scene. Today we count nine years of resistance.

Analyzing the complexity of artistic thought and the emergence of new visual codes of expression, coupled with the hybridization of artistic styles and their superimposition, the exhibition reveals how wartime impacts and disrupts the photographer's artistic practice.

The exhibition is curated by Amina Ahmed, also RGULAR recipient, and EEP Berlin’s founder Maya Hristova

“Childhood Ballad” is an autobiographical series of photographs that tells about the obsession with certain visual images of popular culture of childhood in the late 1990s and adolescents in the 2000s, as well as their impact on the worldview of the photographer in the present.

To achieve maximum visual similarity, the author resorted to casting for the role of herself — a ten-year-old girl and a fourteen-year-old teenager.
Props for still lifes — carefully preserved family fragments of Polina’s childhood. From her own clothes to a magic wand, which is thus a unique fe**sh for each child.

The set design of still lifes was invented in collaboration with Ukrainian photographer Nazar Furyk

2019—2022

I strive to move from a practice that has become so strongly accustomed, based on emotional personal contact with a model, to an endless documentation of a depersonalized landscape that is constantly transforming due to the influence of the Anthropocene, leaving traces of its previous incarnations in plain sight. For this, I turned to Flanery as a kind of meditation, the desire to explore and contemplate the most unobvious places and views. During my wanderings, the landscape became a living character, changing its appearance depending on the season.

All the people who appeared in it were deliberately filmed as much as possible from afar, drowning in the textures of nature. The absence of a person in the frame is replaced by his direct presence in nature, more overwhelming. The feeling of impossibility to prevent chaos makes me want to endlessly document what has not yet been destroyed and has not succumbed to oblivion. Having given the image in aestheticism and romanticism, I want to make the viewer think: how much delight does the image of a landscape bring and what can I give it in return?

In 38, I re-enact or re-construct photos I had taken in 2010—2012, but this time with me posing as the model, and my model playing the part of the photographer.
The idea was to convey, as accurately as possible, the original photograph—from framing, lighting, mise-en-scene, right down to pose, and the minutiae of facial and bodily expression.

What seems important is the fact that my model and I are close friends, so this series becomes a retrospective of our relationship. Maybe it has something to say about the closeness of real friendship, where, over the years, one approaches a state of transparency that borders on identity, but that is always threatened by severance.

But hey, above all, we played.
