The “Darmstädter Tage der Fotografie” is an international photography festival, that takes place on a yearly basis since 2004 and is meanwhile named as one of most important german photography events. It places relevant themes and cultivates an interdisciplinary discourse in the photography.

A whole weekend do numerous activities throw a light on the main theme from different perspectives: photography exhibitions, symposium and discussions are giving the examination with photography a unique concentration. A comprehensive catalogue is published to the festival.

This years theme is: Visual Traces in a Restless Present and will focus on photographic works exploring the transformations currently underway in our present life-worlds. What is happening today with our globalized, networked world that it seems so random and disordered? The complexity of the contemporary world demands the attention of human beings in search of self-certainties and new perspectives. The ongoing changes—whether perceived, self-induced, or caused by fate—affect the lives of human beings in both negative and positive ways. The festival will focus on photographic works exploring these transformations.

The Russian photography magazine ‘Foto & Video published a 4-page portfolio of my series ‘Unsettled’ in the November issue of 2011.
