Beyond The Frame. Rethinking Photography
Fine Arts
The 2025 edition of the European Month of Photography will focus on the theme Rethinking Photography.
As part of the European Month of Photography, the exhibition Beyond the Frame. Rethinking. Photography at the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart focuses on contemporary concerns about the visual language of photography, its creative possibilities and its role in today's world. The featured artists explore different aspects of experimental photography, playing with abstraction, light, materiality and space while using both traditional and innovative techniques. Jessica Backhaus (Plein Soleil series) creates vibrant images from paper that she folds and transforms with heat, using minimalist and abstract compositions. Marta Djourina experiments with photograms and three-dimensional photographic paper, giving her works a sculptural dimension. Joan Fontcuberta has been questioning the boundaries of photography since his Herbarium series which blended reality and fiction. In his De Rerum Natura series, he uses artificial intelligence to create imaginary plants inspired by descriptions of the first explorers of America. Alice Pallot explores the impact of climate change in Algues Maudites, A Sea of Tears, a series of photographs altered by visual pollution which focuses on green algae and threats to biodiversity. Letizia Romanini addresses themes of memory and transformation in images that reference different times and places using techniques such as screen printing and transparency. Jorma Puranen is one of the leading representatives of the Helsinki School. He deconstructs traditional photography and explores the relationship between landscape, photography and pictoriality. His work has influenced many contemporary artists. Joost Vandebrug reinterprets photographic techniques from the past using traditional processes and materials to create images that elude classical representation and emphasise the materiality and temporality of photography. In this group show, each artist moves beyond the frame to question photography as a medium, its ability to represent reality and its place in an increasingly digital and post-photographic world. Opening: 26.04.2025, 11:00-13:00
