Anastasia Samoylova
From the series "Image Cities" |
| |
Anastasia Samoylova » (US) - Image Cities
The Image Cities project explores the role of photorealistic depictions in urban development
by closely considering the images permeating the global cities, from life-scale,
ultra-realistic renderings of future urban construction to the more intimate reminders
of cultural identities of each place, advertisements, and other vernacular imagery. |

A synthesis of numerous topics
The exhibitions this year focus on the theme of 'Synthesis' and encourage us to consider the rapid advancements in technology and the overwhelming amount of information that we encounter. In the midst of this diversity, individuals can feel lost, but can also find ways to rediscover themselves and strive for balance. The theme of synthesis is also reflected in the art on display, which explores the permanence and transformation of images.
The exhibited artists address various urgent themes, such as light pollution, the intersection of bacteria and art, the love of food, the art of play, and the complexity of human relationships. Through their photographic projects, these artists evoke emotions and inspire reflection on these pressing issues in our society.
With over 300 images, 13 locations and 20 indoor and open-air exhibitions, this year's edition of Fotofestival Lenzburg is the most extensive to date. |

“I hold your hand and, carefully, try to capture it. Imprint on my brain the texture of your wrinkly skin,
the warmth of your touch, the way your fingers wrap around mine.” After seven years of illness,
the fight against cancer is coming to an end and the author is torn between conflicting feelings. |

The Photographer’s Guide to Los Santos
The Photographer’s Guide to Los Santos interrogates the ontological boundaries between physical and virtual spaces through an examination of photographic practices situated within the ludic framework of Rockstar North’s record-breaking 2013 release Grand Theft Auto V. Situating Los Santos as an augmented simulacrum of Los Angeles, the epicentre of global image production, the exhibition explores the emergence of this fictional locale as a site of artistic experimentation and critical inquiry. |
