“Although it is an aesthetic that certainly diverges from the documentary tradition to which it alludes, it does not negate it altogether.”Fernando Castro R Mexiko. Kontakte einer unendlichen Stadt. Kellner, Thomas & Fernando Castro R., 2011, Seltmann+Söhne Lüdenscheid/ Berlin page 49

WARSAW PHOTO DAYS 2018
‘MANIPULATION’
15.12.2018 - 11.01.2019
www.warsawphotodays.com

On December 14, Warsaw Photo Days festival organized by Warsaw Association of Polish Art Photographers (OW ZPAF) will open under the theme MANIPULATION. Sixteen exhibitions will be shown in Warsaw galleries.

The theme of this year's edition of the festival has been formulated for the presented photographic projects to serve as an artistic reference to the theme of the festival.
Manipulation is a common and supra-local phenomenon that applies to social and political life, advertising, the media as well as medium of photography itself.
We will present projects attempting to look at the social phenomenon of manipulation understood as a form of influencing upon one person or a group of people in such a way that they fulfil the goals set by manipulator, serve or potentially can be used as tools to manipulate audience through seemingly real, but in fact a highly processed or even distorted picture of reality.
