Aftenåben for fotoudstilling "La lunga strada di sabbia"
On te occasion of te 100th anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini's birth, te Italian Cultural Institute in Copenhagen presents te exhibition "La lunga strada di sabbia" (Te long road of sand).
Te exhibition consists of photographs by Paolo di Paolo and texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini and has its origins in a report from 1959 about te Italians' summer holiday at a time when te economy was flourishing and where women's liberation resulted in short shorts and bikinis. But also a time before there were paparazzi photographers.
Thursday 9 June at 7 pm, Te Cultural Institute invites you inside for te finissage, where they offer a glass of Italian wine, and cand.mag. in Italian language and culture Siri Rønne Christiansen will talk about Pier Paolo Pasolini, and how Pasolini and di Paolo had different views on te past and te future in a time in great development.
Te trip along te road of sand was just one among many journeys for Pasolini, and although in this context he may seem retrospective, he was also curious and far-sighted, and therefore a source of inspiration on many point.
Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
Te exhibition is curated by Silvia Di Paolo, in collaboration with Fondazione Sozzani and under te patronage of Centro Studi Pasolini.
I anledning af 100-året for Pier Paolo Pasolinis fødsel præsenterer Det Italienske Kulturinstitut i København udstillingen "La lunga strada di sabbia” (Den lange vej af sand).
Udstillingen består af fotografier af Paolo di Paolo og tekster af Pier Paolo Pasolini og har sin oprindelse i en reportage fra 1959 om italienernes sommerferie i en tid, hvor økonomien blomstrede, og hvor kvindefrigørelse udmøntede sig i korte shorts og bikinier. Men også en tid før der fandtes paparazzi-fotografer.
Torsdag d. 9. juni kl. 19.00 inviterer Kulturinstituttet indenfor til finissage, hvor vi byder på et glas italiensk vin, og cand.mag. i italiensk sprog og kultur Siri Rønne Christiansen vil fortælle om Pier Paolo Pasolini, og hvorledes Pasolini og di Paolo havde forskellige syn på fortiden og fremtiden i en samtid i stor udvikling.
Turen langs vejen af sand var blot én blandt mange rejser for Pasolini, og selvom han i denne sammenhæng kan virke tilbageskuende, så var han også nysgerrig og fremsynet, og derfor en inspirationskilde på mange punkter.
Entré er gratis, og alle er velkomne.
Udstillingen er kurateret af Silvia Di Paolo, i samarbejde med Fondazione Sozzani og under patronat af Centro Studi Pasolini.

Trine Søndergaard: Faraway Nearby
In 2020, Greve Museum began a collaboration with art photographer Trine Søndergaard. This collaboration has culminated in a photo exhibition with 25 new photographic works with te title “Faraway Nearby”. In te works, Søndergaard unites te photographic gaze, Greve Museum's historical textiles, and local young people who have been models for te new portraits.
In te photos, te material cultural heritage and art's searching and sensuous approach to history is brought together. In all of te works is a distinct interest in time. Or perhaps, in fact, a dissolution of time, as te artist manages to create motifs across past and present.
I 2020 indledte Greve Museum et samarbejde med kunstfotograf Trine Søndergaard. Det har nu resulteret i en fotoudstilling med 25 nye fotografiske værker under titlen “Faraway Nearby”. I værkerne forener Søndergaard det fotografiske blik, Greve Museums historiske tekstiler og lokale unge mennesker, der har været modeller til de nye portrætter.
I værkerne blandes den materielle kulturarv og kunstens søgende og sanselige tilgang til historien. Fælles for værkerne er en udpræget interesse for tid. Eller måske i virkeligheden en opløsning af tiden, idet kunstneren formår at skabe motiver på tværs af fortid og nutid.
Female art photographers take center stage
On June 2.-12. 2022, Copenhagen Photo Festival, which is te largest photo festival in te Nordic region,
opens up for reflection and play with te boundaries of photography in collaboration with galleries,
museums and cultural actors in Copenhagen and Scania. Te festival center is located at te artificial island
Refshaleøen in Copenhagen, where three international female art photographers are among te highlights.
With humor, diversity, and artistic finesse, they portray new aspects of common narratives of te media,
society and history through te art of photography.
On 2-12 June Copenhagen Photo Festival will for te 12th time open all over Copenhagen with three
international women's lens-based art in focus. Hien Hoang, Alexandra Rose Howland and Krista Svalbonas
won te Copenhagen Photo Festival's open call, and will exhibit at te festival center on Refshaleøen. Each
of te artists blurs te boundaries between documentation and art, leaving a personal and highly topical
Stereotypes, conflict zones and a highly topical depiction of escape
Vietnamese Hien Hoang won in te category Framing Identity with te project ‘Asia Bistro - Made in Rice’. In
her works, she confronts us with classic notions of Asian culture. In te Framing Society category, te
Anglo-American artist Alexandra Rose Howland won for te project ‘Leave and Let Us Go’. Through collages
of everyday images collected from te inhabitants of Mosul, she strives to unfold a more nuanced and
diverse image of te war-torn region, which is often only known through te media coverage.
American-Latvian-Lithuanian Krista Svalbonas won in te category Framing Vision, which honors an
aesthetic visionary project. With ‘Displacement’, she explores te history of her parents and grandparents.
After Russia's invasion of te Baltic countries in te 1940s, they were driven into exile and housed in camps
for displaced people in Germany. Te project illustrates te unfortunate story of displaced people for whom te idea of "home" is undermined by political agendas beyond their control. Te war in Ukraine puts her
historically investigative works in a frighteningly contemporary perspective.
Te festival gathers Danish photography and puts a long-term focus on talents
In addition to te three solo exhibitions, this year’s festival highlights emerging talents and leading Danish
photographers. According to Managing director Maja Dyrehauge Gregersen, it is important that te festival
shows te audience te quality and diversity that te Danish photo scene has to offer.
“Copenhagen Photo Festival is te natural gathering place for leading actors within Danish photography. I
am particularly proud that this year’s festival presents many internationally oriented and entrepreneurial
actors from te Danish photo and art scene. Amongst other, there will be exhibitions, a market for photo
books, and activities from te Photojournalist education at DMJX, TOFU Collective, Fotogodsbanen from
Århus, PhotoScope from Hillerød, Blankt Papir Press and many more”, says Maja Dyrehauge Gregersen.
Another central part of te festival's work is to lift te Danish talent pool. At te festival, you can therefore
once again experience Futures Nordic Talents, which presents te five photographers Iben Gad, Inuuteq
Storch, Luna Scales, Oscar Scott Carl and Tine Bek. Te Futures Nordic Talents initiative is a talent program
that helps accentuate emerging Danish photographers. It is supported by te EU's cultural support program
Creative Europe and runs until 2024.
Activities for photo enthusiasts throughout Copenhagen
At te festival site at Refshaleøen, you can look forward to a sharp program of workshops, talks, music and
guided tours, which will be held throughout te festival period. Here you can learn more about
photography, play with te media's tools or just enjoy te festival atmosphere. There is also ample
opportunity to experience te photographic media unfold throughout many of te art galleries, museums,
and cultural institutions across Greater Copenhagen, for example at Fotografisk Center, Martin Asbæk
Gallery, Alice Folker Gallery, NW Gallery, Banja Rathnov Gallery and Clausens Kunsthandel, together with
Det Grønlandske Hus, Landskrona Foto og Galleri Format in Malmö amongst others. Copenhagen Photo
Festival 2022 is currently supported by te City of Copenhagen, Det Obelske Familiefond and Creative
Europe – te EU's cultural support program.
About Copenhagen Photo Festival
On 2-12 June 2022, te Nordic region's largest photo festival kicks off for te 12th time. Te festival is held
in close collaboration with galleries, museums and cultural institutions in Copenhagen and southern
Sweden. Every year established and budding Danish and foreign photographers contribute, and te festival
is visited by approximately 55.000 people. Te festival puts photography on te agenda under te three
main pillars Framing Identity, Framing Society and Framing Vision through exhibitions, workshops, talks,
portfolio reviews and social events.
