HANS JONSSON – WET PLATE PHOTOGRAPHY
LOCATION: Järnvägsgatan 2 / Outdoors
12:00–5:00 pm
During the festival’s opening weekend, you can have your portrait taken by photographer Hans Jonsson using the historic wet plate collodion process and take home a unique portrait. Wet plate photography is a handcrafted technique from the 1850s in which each image is created directly on a glass or aluminium plate. The result is a one-of-a-kind original with a distinctive presence and timeless character. Photo: Landskrona Stad / Oskar Fäldt
SURVEILLANCE AND PUNISHMENT – WOMEN IN PRISON
LOCATION: The Prison, Landskrona Citadel
12:15–1:15 pm
Artist Agnès Geoffray and curator Vanessa Desclaux join Anna Tellgren, Curator of Photography at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, for a conversation about their collaborative project Elles obliquent, Elles obstinent, Elles tempêtent / They Stray, They Persist, They Thunder, currently presented in an exhibition at Landskrona Citadel. The discussion will introduce their working process, collaboration, selection methods, and the development of the exhibition’s visual narrative. How can historical photographs be used in a contemporary context? What can visitors discover in this exhibition about imprisoned women’s acts of resistance and their longing for freedom?
Drawing on their respective artistic practices, Debi Cornwall and Felipe Romero Beltrán join Joacim Sprung and Erika Larsson from Lund University to discuss how photography can illuminate the relationship between the individual, the body, and the cultural, legal, and political systems that shape our lives. The conversation explores the changing conditions of documentary photography and the strategies used to address issues of power, violence, migration, and belonging. What do images do to us as viewers, and can they change how we understand the world and our place within it? Debi Cornwall is an American conceptual documentary artist who, after twelve years as a civil rights lawyer, turned to photography in 2014. Combining still and moving images with testimony and archival material, she uses absurdity and dark humour to reveal hidden systems of power.
Felipe Romero Beltrán (b. 1992, Bogotá) is a Colombian artist based in Paris. His work explores social issues and the evolving narratives of documentary photography through long-term, research-driven projects. He holds a PhD in Photography from Complutense University of Madrid, a background that strongly informs the conceptual framework of his practice.
Joacim Sprung is Senior Lecturer in Art History and Visual Studies at Lund University. His teaching and research focus on art historiography, aesthetics, and visuality from the sixteenth century to the present day.
Erika Larsson is Associate Professor of Art History and Visual Culture at Lund University and researcher at Skissernas Museum. Her research examines belonging, photography, memory, and the relationship between artistic processes and health.
