3rd International Photography Festival F/Stop to take
place in Leipzig from July 1st to 7th this year. It is presented by the Center for Contemporary Photography (ZZF) which was founded back in 2006. A unique concept will lead visitors to move closer to the pulse rate of contemporary artistic photographers, coming from 16 countries. Visitors will experience a metamorphosis of curatorial exhibition concepts as well as of industrial architecture made in Leipzig. This year’s festival main show contrasts the perspectives of two generations regarding the change of lifeworlds after 89. For some Die Wende marked zero hour, a system in chaos, empty spaces offering possibilities for re-invention. Permanent transformation and acceleration are considered to be normal already by the next generation. This big group exhibit displays pieces of well renowned photographers originating in Leipzig and unites those with the work of young photographic artists. Thereby it invites to observe and break through the image, searching for confrontation with artists of the new and the middle generation, looking for a point of origin.
