Through more than seventy works by nineteen artists, Contemporary Photography from North-Western Europe describes some of the most interesting research conducted in the field of photography in North-West Europe in recent decades.

Using different languages, from the landscape to the portrait, from staged photography to the snapshot, by way of reportage and installations, the artists selected explore some of the most urgent topics that reality brings to our attention. They investigate issues linked to the history of the medium and the nature of contemporary images.

The same richness also connotes the group of artists who are emerging on the international scene, and who are placed alongside some of the most famous names in photography.
