RESIDENCY

Twice a year Landskrona Foto Residency welcomes an early to mid-career photographer or artist working with photography and/or lens-based media, who wishes to further and challenge their practice, to Landskrona, to engage in a project related to the city.

PRACTICAL INFO

Our residency program is an opportunity for a non-Swedish photographer or artist working with photography and/or lens based media to have time and space away from their usual environment and obligations. The residency takes place for 6 weeks during the spring and in the autumn. The residency photographer receives a grant of 15000 SEK (approx. 1500 EUR), travel expenses to and from the home country (economy only), an apartment in Landskrona, and an office space with Landskrona Foto crew. Landskrona Foto connects the photographer in residency with regional-based photographers, artists and other art professionals through meetings, mentoring, exhibition openings and other networking opportunities.

Information about applying to Landskrona Foto Spring Residency 2026 will be available soon.

AUTUMN RESIDENCY 2025

We are happy to announce that this autumn residency photographer is Zexuan Zeng!

Zexuan Zeng (1997) was born in eastern South China and began studying Visual Communication at Shanghai Normal University in 2015. A year later, he started working as a freelance artist and designer. In 2021, he moved to Germany to study at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, where he completed his Diplom in 2025.

Zexuan’s artistic practice examines the fragile boundary between documentary and fiction, with the self-referential nature of memory through precise control of emotional flow in photography. During the Landskrona residency, he will weave performative reenactments, archival encounters, and staged “evidence” into a coherent dramaturgy designed to reveal how images contribute to the construction of geopolitical narratives. By creating tensions between truth and fiction, the work aims to prompt viewers to reflect on the power dynamics embedded in archives, evidence, and memory.

His work has been exhibited in various countries, including China, Germany, Japan, Turkey and Lithuania.
