ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:
WARSAW PHOTO DAYS FESTIVAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY WAS FOUNDED IN 2013 ON THE INITIATIVE OF THE WARSAW DISTRICT
OF THE ASSOCIATION OF POLISH ART PHOTOGRAPHERS ZPAF - AN ORGANIZER OF THE EVENT. THE FESTIVAL WAS PLANNED AS
A PLACE FOR MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS OF VARIOUS FORMS OF PHOTOGRAPHY, BOTH FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES.
2015 EDITION
The third edition of the festival will be held in November 2015.The theme is
TESTOSTERONE. The Main Programme in Warsaw galleries will feature
projects selected through a competition addressed to visual artists. We’ve
expected themed photographic projects and multimedia forms with the use
of photographs and /or video that visually analyze and problematize the idea
of masculinity. Widely understood testosterone – used under the theme of
the contest as an intellectual shortcut – is identified with the life force of the
human species that drives the pace of men’s and women’s life, is subject to
constant revisions by civilization and society, so in the physical and mental
sphere, and is being redefined by successive generations and expressed in
many ways. The projects prepared under the contest were supposed to
help us to familiarize ourselves with the ways of photographic depiction
of contemporary archetypes of masculinity, its attributes, the strengths and
vulnerabilities.
Out of more than 400 applications our jur y (Michaela Bosáková,
Katarzyna Majak, Jolanta Rycerska, Andrzej Zygmuntowicz) selected
fifteen most interesting individual projects, which will be exhibited during
WARSAW PHOTO DAYS 2015.
