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.

SPRING RESIDENCY 2025

We are delighted to announce that Francesco Levy has been selected as the winner of the Landskrona Foto Spring Residency 2025. This edition of the residency is presented in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm and was open exclusively to Italian photographers.

Francesco Levy works primarily with photography, collage, and drawing – exploring themes of memory, identity, and fiction. Through photography, he creates a dialogue between the past and present, examining the relationship between reality and fiction and how narratives can be shaped and rewritten. His creative practice is one of montage and assembly – a language that unfolds between past and present, individual stories and collective narratives.

Over the past two years, he has reflected on the concept of home, habitation, and refuge, expanding his research across various European countries, including France, Spain, Italy, and Greece. 

In 2020, his first book, Azimuths of Celestial Bodies, was published by Crowdbooks.

The Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm has always put a lot of effort in to highlighting photography, as can be seen, for instance, in the initiatives to promote young Italian photographers: in 2023 it organized an exhibition with the finalists of Giovane Fotografia Italiana 2022 and in March/April 2024 an exhibition of Eleonora Agostini as part of the Nuove Traiettorie project. At the same time, it presented names already established internationally.

During the 2024 edition of the Premio Ghirri, the photographer Claudia Amatruda was selected. The Nuove Traiettorie Project takes the form of an artistic residency in Stockholm aimed to create an original exhibition project, and in Amatruda’s case her work will be presented in the prestigious spaces of the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm, entirely designed by Gio Ponti, who took care both of the architecture and the furnishings, making the Institute a museum of Italian design in the 1950s.
