Welcome!

One topic, various exhibitions and a lot of program! In 2023, the f² Fotofestival is taking place for the fourth time and offers a vivid platform for the photo community in and around Dortmund.
Established photographers, uprising artists, educational institutions, museums and cultural venues - they all share a passion for photography and the examination of this year's festival theme of globality.

Questioning, encouraging, networking: As part of the f² Fotofestival, the artists and photographers approach the topic of globality in very individual ways and explore unusual places and perspectives with their contributions.

From June 1st to 11th, the festival invites you to discover these places and photographic perspectives!

POINT OF...

How can the African continent be described and made visible today? A continent that is everywhere and nowhere at the same time? The exhibition "POINT OF..." is dedicated to this question, detached from traditional patterns of representation, photographic conventions and Western-influenced visual habits. To this end, the [...]

UTOPIA

The term "Utopia", coined by Sir Thomas Morus in 1516, describes a society in which common ideologies and principles apply and in which the value of private property and money is to be abolished. Since the 1960s, a variety of communities around the world have attempted to translate this abstract intellectual notion into [...]

DISSECTING GLOBALITY

Utopia, dystopia or long since reality? The concept of "globality" must be negotiated from different angles in order to be able to reflect on its effects and dimensions. Is globality the consequence of world-spanning technological, social and cultural networks? Can its traces already be experienced in local [...]

ALL IN THE SAME...

...boat, container, club, train, net, etc. Eight students from the Ruhrakademie shed light on global phenomena and omnipresent networks. The individual works, partly documentary, partly subjective narrative, fit together like puzzle pieces to form a complex overall picture. The world of goods and consumption is thematised in [...]

AND "EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING [...]".

Photography has become a global visual language like no other medium. It is read, exchanged and communicated across cultural borders. Since its invention, it has constructed our view of the world. However, it does not only act as a universal medium of information and communication. Photography also serves to visualise our [...]

WE ARE...

Globalisation phenomena can be recorded scientifically and expressed in figures. The effects on the global community, on the other hand, are more difficult to depict: Relationships between people remain opaque - regardless of whether they take place in spatial proximity or are mediated across spatial distances through the [...]

13 PORTRAITS

Projektraum Fotografie is showing the work "13 Portraits" by Fatih Kurçeren. Taken in the Ruhr region, it deals with people of different origins. Fatih Kurçeren photographed refugees in sensitive portraits that make the trauma they experienced visible. People mainly from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and the former Yugoslavia are [...]

SIS+BROS

In the SIS+BROs project, twenty youths and young adults from eight countries - mostly with refugee experience and aged between 13 and 21 - expressed their individual experiences and perspectives on the topic of "globality" in photographs. An additional photo exchange with friends from other countries resulted in a [...]

GLOBALITY

In three seminars of the Photography & Multimedia departments at the Department of Art & Art History at TU Dortmund University, students worked on very multi-layered projects with different focuses on the topic of "globality" in the winter semester 2022/23. In Julia Unkel's portrait seminar, the focus was on locating [...]

DON'T WE KNOW EACH OTHER?

As part of the photo project "Don't we know each other?", a cooperation with the Dortmund Adult Education Centre was initiated for the first time. In several courses, the global was to be made tangible in the local. Finally approaching each other again and seeking new encounters. Portrait photography in particular was the [...]

DIS/APPEAR

The starting point is the idea of total visibility of the world through photographic images. The sheer mass and immediate dissemination, however, makes everything depicted equally unimportant and invisible. So what can photography still achieve in this day and age? The exhibition brings together artists whose works radiate a [...]

OWN THE REALITY

The fashion show advertised as the "ADIDAS Realitywear" launch generated international coverage at this year's Berlin Fashion Week. This guerrilla intervention was staged by the artist/activist collective "The Yes Men" in cooperation with the Berlin design team "Threads and Tits" and the labour rights organisation "Clean [...]

CROSS STITCHING

The participatory project Cross Stitching initiated by the artist Iris Wolf brought people of different ages and cultural backgrounds together. The workshops focused on a creative exploration of photography and embroidery. Using the photos they had brought with them, the participants got into conversation with each [...]

GLOBAL ME

Global Me explores the tension between the local and the global self with future educators. The starting point was portraits. The exhibition shows the portrait photos processed with different materials in order to approach possible answers to the following questions: Who is standing there? How are we linked to others? How [...]
