LIANZHOU FOTO FESTIVAL 2019
15th edition
A Chance for the Unpredictable

Curated: Peter Pfrunder

November 30, 2019 – January, 3 2019
Opening Ceremony : November 29, 2019

This year the Swiss Foundation for Photography Director Peter Pfrunder was invited to collaborate to Lianzhou Foto’s fifteenth edition. To celebrate this anniversary edition, the theme chosen by our guest curator is an hommage to photography, its practice and malpractice. The local and international artists to be featured in the theme exhibition exploring the uncontrollable aspects and the unpredictable elements that leave their traces on the photographic image.

‘A Chance for the Unpredictable’ is a fascinating topic with many options for subtle comments on the current state of our world – it is implicitly political by focusing on a genuinely photographic subject. And we need it more than ever as an antidote to rationality, efficiency and predictability.

Artists to be featured in the theme exhibition are among others : Huang Huang (China), Liu Ke (China), Lukas Felzmann (Swiss), Hayahisa Tomiyasu (Japan), Anna Niskanen (Finland), Collectif Fact (UK), Delio Jasse (Angola), Kurt Caviezel (Swiss), Jenny Rova (Sweden), Clément Lambelet (Swiss), Jun Ahn (Korea), Seba Kurtis (Argentina), Clare Strand (UK), Jules Spinatsch (Swiss), Ester Vonplon (Swiss)

16th International Festival Signes de Nuit
Section : Cinema in Transgression

THE EDWARD SNOWDEN AWARD
to our film “No wall is ever silent”

The Edward Snowden Award honors films, which offer sensible (mostly) unknown informations, facts and phenomenons of eminent importance, for which the festival wishes a wide proliferation in the future.

Jury Statement :
At first glance, “No wall is ever silent” seems to have nothing to do with whistleblowing in its abstract visualization and comments, but if you consider that the protagonist is a former Swiss private bank, you will soon recall the unholy connection between money and politics.
