The 9th edition of the Landskrona Foto Festival took place over 17 days in September 2024, under the artistic direction of Jenny Lindhe and Jenny Nordquist. The festival featured renowned photographers such as Greta Alfaro, Clare Strand, Federico Estol, Thierry Ardouin, Emma Sarpaniemi, and many more. The programme included a total of 17 exhibitions with artists from 19 countries.
Exhibitions were presented both in public spaces—visible in parks, shops, and city streets—as well as in museums and galleries across Landskrona.
At the post-war Swedish modernist Arthall, a group exhibition curated by Christien Eyene showcased artists from the Global South exploring themes of land as a natural environment, as foundational to identity formation, and as a site of extraction shaped by ongoing colonial legacies.
At the 16th-century Landskrona Citadel, visitors experienced a site-specific audio-visual installation by Spanish artist Greta Alfaro. Her work examined themes of food, religion, and contemporary consumption through a critical and poetic lens.
In collaboration with the Center for Contemporary Photography Melbourne, the festival presented an exhibition focusing on motherhood, place, belonging, and the experiences of women and girls by four prominent Australian artists: Yin Ang, Miriam Charlie, Odette England, and Lisa Sorgini.
Outdoor public spaces hosted eight large-scale installations. The city center was transformed by 24 images from Uruguayan photographer Federico Estol, who documented the lives of shoe shiners in the streets of La Paz and the El Alto suburbs—individuals who have become a notable social phenomenon in Bolivia’s capital.
Outdoor exhibitions also featured Finnish photographer Emma Sarpaniemi, who explored femininity through humorous and performative self-portraits, and Mexican artist Alfredo Blasquez, whose close-up photographs depicted plastic toys discarded and washed ashore on Mexican beaches.
On the island of Ven, in the Renaissance garden once tended by the 16th-century astronomer Tycho Brahe, French artist Thierry Ardouin presented a series of macro photographs of seeds from around the world. His images revealed the seeds’ fragile beauty and resilience, highlighting their critical role in human civilization.
