Reframing Realities
Reframing Realities explores the shifting viewpoints that define and redraw contemporary Europe. From vibrant European communities to fluid identities in a hyper-mediated digital age, the theme examines how realities—objective, personal, ecological, aesthetic—are continuously constructed, erased, and reimagined. As Europe navigates armed conflict, migration flows, and the pressures of the Anthropocene, photographers respond with images that blur the line between documentation and invention. In an era of self-curation, unrecognizable retouching and synthetic beauty, and vanishing biodiversity, this year’s theme asks: where do the edges lie—and who has the power to redraw it?
