What would photography between indifference and difference be like? Sixteen graduates of the bachelor program in photography at the Valand Academy, University of Gothenburg in Sweden explore this question.
In a time of exhaustion, art photography is capable of acting as a singular antidote. Consciously or unconsciously, it situates itself between circumstances, intervenes, intermingles in things, negotiates. It plays an active role in the present. What kind of photography could actually make a difference? And how can we cast aside apathy?
The Valand Academy at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden offers the country’s only university-level education in photography. Each year, it brings together students from all the Nordic countries together with exchange students from across Europe.
