Project PHOTONS was born out of love towards photography, artists and audience. Inspired by a southern lifestyle, this June PHOTONS invites you to an unusual exhibition where pictures will not hang on naked white walls and the room will not be filled with uncomfortable echo. This exhibition comes to a visitor itself, and all visitors have to do is stretch their legs, relax and be viewers.
PHOTONS introduces series of artists from France, Germany, Spain, Italy and other European countries. Young talents, as well as awarded photographers, have been brought from recently ended international photography festival "Boutographies" in France.
Their works represent contemporary photography as such: society, its changes, searching of true self, limits of photography, unusual reality, poetry, love – all the questions that photography poses about life and human's place in it, about the artist and about photography itself.
"The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own."
Susan Sontag
The following photographers represent more than 8 European countries. As every artist, they try to show their point of view with their works. Through the photography artists reflect themselves as they would be somebody Else or Different, turning familiar into strange, strange into familiar; they search for escape in a world of artificial reality and illusion or, on the contrary, let the everyday life speak. Every of them offers exceptional and intimate approach to both, the topic in question and the medium. Finally, a magnetic connection between the plot, the photography and the artist emerges, with the latter returning to its own micro-universe or becoming an invisible but present observer in the world of The Other.
A new format – exibition/projection – gives an opportunity to introduce a wide number of young artists to the audience, as well as to invite to an unconventional evening in undiscovered spaces of Vilnius. The aim of PHOTONS is rich contents, cozy surroundigs and a colourful and interesting audience – people who like to be involved, who discuss and question and who are sure of the place of art in their lives.
