ARTIST TOUR · A Good Dress · Festival Highlight | Carolyn Drake
En sjælden mulighed for at opleve udstillingen sammen med Carolyn Drake selv.
Deltag i en særlig artist tour på Det Kongelige Teater med festivalens highlight, Carolyn Drake.
Carolyn Drake vil guide deltagerne gennem sin udstilling og dele personlige betragtninger og give indsigt i sin praksis, temaer og kunstneriske tilgang. Hendes arbejde udforsker kompleksiteten i køn og kulturel identitet og tilbyder nye perspektiver på dybt forankrede sociale strukturer på en måde, der både overrasker, vækker nysgerrighed og subtilt får os til at trække på smilebåndet.
Udstillingen præsenterer centrale værker fra hendes seneste, prisvindende projekter, herunder Knit Club (2012–2020), Men Untitled (2020–2023) og Glorify Yourself (2020–2023). Gennem samarbejdsmetoder og selvportrætter udfordrer Drake konventioner og inviterer til refleksion over identitet og repræsentation.
Dette er en unik mulighed for at opleve udstillingen gennem kunstnerens eget perspektiv.
NB! Omvisningen er gratis med en adgangsbillet til teatret, men kræver pladsbillet – der er begrænset adgang.
A rare chance to explore the exhibition with Carolyn Drake herself.

In this unique event, Carolyn Drake will guide visitors through her exhibition, sharing personal insights into her practice, themes, and artistic approach. Her work explores the complexities of gender and cultural identity, offering new perspectives on deeply embedded social structures in ways that surprise, creates curiosity and subtly makes us smile.
The exhibition presents key works from her recent, award-winning projects, including Knit Club (2012–2020), Men Untitled (2020–2023), and Glorify Yourself (2020–2023). Through collaborative methods and self-portraiture, Drake challenges conventions and invites reflection on identity and representation.

En sjælden mulighed for at opleve udstillingen Rhi-Entry i selskab med kunstneren selv.
På denne særlige kunstnerrundvisning vil Rhiannon Adam lede besøgende gennem sin soloudstilling og dele personlige indblik i sine fotografier, temaer og karriere.
I løbet af tre år fordybede Adam sig i rumfartsindustrien, hvor missionen blev hendes centrale fokus. Projektet afspejler en unik indsats for at skabe større bevidsthed, nye perspektiver og en mere menneskelig, civil tilstedeværelse i rummet – i en tid, hvor det bliver stadig mere politiseret.
Dette er en unik chance for at opleve udstillingen gennem kunstnerens eget perspektiv
A rare opportunity to explore the exhibition Rhi-Entry in the company of the artist himself.
In this special artist tour, Rhiannon Adam will guide visitors through her solo exhibition, sharing personal insights into his photographs, themes and career.
Over the course of three years, Adam immersed herself in the space industry, with the mission becoming her central focus. The project reflects a unique effort to bring greater awareness, new perspectives, and a more human, civilian presence to space—at a time when it is becoming increasingly politicised.
This is a unique chance to experience the exhibition through the artist’s own perspective.

ARTIST TOUR · Observations of a New Norwegian Fauna · Helge Skodvin
En sjælden mulighed for at opleve udstillingen Observations of a New Norwegian Fauna i selskab med kunstneren selv.
Fotograf Helge Skodvin guider deltagerne gennem sin soloudstilling og dele personlige indblik i sine fotografier, temaer og karriere. Præsentationen omfatter centrale værker fra hans serie Observations of a New Norwegian Fauna, der er skabt over en periode på otte år fra 2014 til 2022.
I denne periode rejste Skodvin rundt i Norge og dokumenterede en mærkværdig ny fauna af kunstige dyr – dinosaurer, havelamaer, kænguruer og andre uventede figurer, der dukkede op i vores landskab. Hans arbejde udvisker grænsen mellem det naturlige og det konstruerede og inviterer med et glimt i øjet til dyb refleksion over vores truede biodiversitet og kulturelle koder.
Dette er en unik chance for at opleve udstillingen gennem kunstnerens eget perspektiv.
NB! Omvisningen er gratis med en adgangsbillet til teatret, men kræver pladsbillet – der er begrænset adgang.
A rare opportunity to explore the exhibition Observation of a New Norwegian Fauna in the company of the artist himself.
Helge Skodvin will guide visitors through his solo exhibition, sharing personal insights into his photographs, themes and career. The presentation features key works from his series New Norwegian Fauna, developed over eight years from 2014 to 2022.
Throughout this period, Skodvin travelled across Norway, documenting a curious “new fauna” of artificial animals—dinosaurs, garden llamas, kangaroos, and other unexpected figures that appear in the landscape. His work blurs the line between the natural and the constructed, inviting reflection on perception, environment, and cultural imagination.
This is a unique chance to experience the exhibition through the artist’s own perspective.
NB! The tour is free with an admission ticket to the theatre, but requires a ticket as there are limited spots.

Together with exhibiting artists, curators, prominent international guests and representatives from our partner institutions, we will celebrate photography’s ability to create worlds and new possibilities through images and stories – staged or not. And to imagine a better world that follows new paths. Another reason to meet and celebrate photography together!
At the opening, you can experience the very first exhibition with the American artist and Magnum photographer Carolyn Drake, as well as solo exhibitions by the four solo artists Helge Skodvin, Maja Daniels, Rhiannon Adam and Roger Ballen, all of whom will give their perspective on this year’s theme ‘Forestillinger | Scenarios’. In addition, we are opening the open exhibition ‘Imagine if …?’ in collaboration with CEWE with the participation of more than 200 submitted contributions, of which 50 are displayed in a group installation.
We look forward to celebrating with you, so remember to mark your calendars!

Copenhagen Photo Festival er glade for at præsentere CPF Selectees 2026, der er udvalgt blandt 1019 ansøgninger gennem vores Open Call 2026. De udvalgte kunstnere beskæftiger sig alle med temaet Forestillinger | Scenarier og udfolder det på tankevækkende måder. De i alt seks projekter kan opleves digitalt fleres steder i Balkonfoyeren på Det Kongelige Teater under festivalen.
ANA MARIA ARÈVALO GOSEN | DÍAS ETERNOS
I sit langsigtede projekt Días Eternos (Evige dage) dokumenterer den venezuelanske fotograf Ana María Arévalo Gosen livet for kvinder, der er tilbageholdt i fængsler i Venezuela og El Salvador. Hendes intime fotografier afslører deres barske virkelighed med usikkerhed og langvarig indespærring uden rettergang, samtidig med at de indfanger øjeblikke af modstandsdygtighed, omsorg og solidaritet.
ADAM ROUHANA | BEFORE FREEDOM
I Before Freedom indfanger den palæstinensisk-amerikanske fotograf Adam Rouhana scener fra en palæstinensisk hverdag, hvor øjeblikke med glæde, ømhed og fællesskab bliver til modstandshandlinger. Before Freedom skildrer Palæstina som mere end blot et fysisk sted og undersøger i stedet livsspor i et samfund, der er opstået i løbet af hundreder eller endda tusinder af år. Gennem sit objektiv indfanger Rouhana ikke blot kulturelle, religiøse og sociale traditioner, der fortsætter mod alle odds, men også de minder, der er givet videre i generationer.
SASHA VELICHKO | STATE OF DENIAL
I State of Denial udforsker den hviderussisk-polske kunstner Sasha Velichko propaganda, manipulation og de skrøbelige grænser mellem sandhed og fiktion. Med udgangspunkt i sine egne erfaringer som politisk eksilant fra Hviderusland skaber hun foruroligende og absurde visuelle fortællinger ud af fotografi og AI baseret på virkelige historier om tilbageholdelse og statsstyrede medier. Hendes arbejde viser, hvordan magt former vores opfattelse på og stiller spørgsmålstegn ved, hvad vi kan stole på.
CASSANDRA KLOS | MARS ON EARTH
I Mars on Earth udforsker den amerikanske fotograf Cassandra Klos grænsen mellem fantasi og virkelighed gennem iscenesatte rumsimulationer, der efterligner livet uden for Jorden. Med udgangspunkt i såkaldte ‘analogs’, astronautprogrammer og forskningshabitater her på jorden, dokumenterer hun, hvordan mennesker øver sig på en fremtidig tilværelse i rummet. I stedet for at skildre rummet som en fjern fantasi inviterer Klos os til at reflektere over, hvordan vi forestiller os fremtiden, og hvad de fortæller om vores tid.
MOHAMED HASSAN | OUR HIDDEN ROOM
I sin fotografiske praksis udforsker den egyptiskfødte kunstner Mohamed Hassan temaer som hukommelse, arv og psykologisk traume, ofte med udgangspunkt i sin egen familiehistorie. Hans projekt Our Hidden Room reflekterer over hans fars liv som fotograf i Alexandria. Her bliver det fotografiske mørkekammer et bogstaveligt og symbolsk rum for erindring, kreativitet og samhørighed. Gennem sit projekt sporer Hassan, hvordan personlige og kollektive historier krydser hinanden, og afslører, hvordan fortiden påvirker familier i generationer. Hassans arbejde inviterer til refleksion over tavshed, historiefortælling og de skrøbelige grænser mellem dokumentation og levet erfaring.
ANTONE DOLEZAL & LARA SHIPLEY | THE NAKED TRUTH
I The Naked Truth udforsker de amerikanske kunstnere Antone Dolezal og Lara Shipley de udviskede grænser mellem virkelighed og illusion i deres undersøgelse af en svindler fra depressionstiden, der forvandlede et hotel til et falsk kræfthospital. Med udgangspunkt i fotografi, performance og historisk forskning afdækker de, hvordan myter, desperation og tro kan manipuleres. Deres billeder bevæger sig mellem fakta og fiktion og afslører, hvor let fortællinger om håb kan bruges til at manipulere.
Copenhagen Photo Festival is glad to feature CPF Selectees 20026 carefully selected from 1019 applications through our open call 2026. The selected artists all engage with the theme Forestillinger | Scenarios in profound ways. The six presented projects can be experienced digitally in several places in the Balcony Foyer at the Royal Theatre during the festival.
ANA MARIA ARÈVALO GOSEN | DÍAS ETERNOS
Through her long-term project Días Eternos (Eternal Days), Venezuelan photographer Ana María Arévalo Gosen documents the lives of women held in remand prisons across Venezuela and El Salvador. Her intimate photographs reveal the harsh realities of overcrowding, uncertainty, and prolonged detention without trial, while also capturing moments of resilience, care, and solidarity.
ADAM ROUHANA | BEFORE FREEDOM
In Before Freedom, Palestinian-American photographer Adam Rouhana captures intimate scenes of everyday Palestinian life, where moments of joy, tenderness, and community become acts of resistance. Before Freedom looks beyond Palestine as just a physical place, and instead investigates threads of life in a society that has emerged over the course of hundreds or even thousands of years. Through his lens, Rouhana captures not just cultural, religious, social traditions that persist against all odds, but also the memories passed between families from generation to generation.
SASHA VELICHKO | STATE OF DENIAL
In State of Denial, the Belarusian-Polish artist Sasha Velichko explores propaganda, manipulation, and the fragile boundaries between truth and fiction. Drawing from her own experience of political exile from Belarus, she combines photography with AI-generated imagery to create unsettling and absurd visual narratives based on real stories from state-controlled media. Her work confronts how power shapes perception, exposing the violence of misinformation while questioning what can still be trusted.
CASSANDRA KLOS | MARS ON EARTH
In Mars on Earth, American photographer Cassandra Klos explores the boundary between fantasy and reality through staged space simulations that mimic life beyond Earth. Drawing on so-called ‘analogs’ — astronaut programs and research habitats here on Earth — she documents how humans rehearse for a future existence in space. Her images reveal how scientific ambition meets human vulnerability and dreams. Rather than portraying space as a distant fantasy, Klos invites us to reflect on how we imagine the future and what these imagined worlds say about the present.
MOHAMED HASSAN | OUR HIDDEN ROOM
In his photographic practice, Egyptian-born artist Mohamed Hassan explores themes of memory, inheritance, and psychological trauma, often drawing from his own family history. His project Our Hidden Room reflects on his father’s life as a photographer in Alexandria and the lasting impact of generational suffering, where the photographic darkroom becomes both a literal and symbolic space of memory and repression. Through a careful and intimate visual language, Hassan traces how personal and collective histories intersect, revealing how the past continues to shape identity in the present. His work invites reflection on silence, storytelling, and the fragile boundaries between documentation and lived experience.
ANTONE DOLEZAL & LARA SHIPLEY | THE NAKED TRUTH
In The Naked Truth, American artists Antone Dolezal and Lara Shipley explore the blurred boundaries between reality and illusion through a staged and archival reconstruction of a Depression-era con artist who turned a hotel into a fake cancer hospital. Drawing on photography, performance, and historical research, they unravel how myth, desperation, and belief can be manipulated into systems of exploitation. Their images move between fact and fiction, exposing how easily narratives of hope can be manipulated.

OM
CPF Selectees er udvalgt blandt mere end 1000 ansøgere. Årets projekter udforsker personlig og kollektiv erindring, spørgsmål om mental sundhed, biodiversitet, samfundsstrukturer, teknologi, magtdynamikker, forestillede fremtider og meget mere. De udfolder sig på tværs af tid, rum og oplevelse; nogle inden for klassisk, analog fotografi, mens andre eksperimenterer med kunstig intelligens, arkivbilleder, iscenesatte scener og spekulativ fortælling. Hvert enkelt projekt er valgt på baggrund af stærk sammenhæng og konsistens mellem det visuelle udtryk og fortællingen.
ABOUT
CPF Selectees have been selected between more than 1000 applicants. This year the projects explore personal and collective memory, mental health issues, biodiversity, societal structures, technology, power dynamics, imagined futures and much more. They unfold across time, space, and experience, some within classic, analogue photography, others experiment with AI, archival imagery, staged scenes and speculative storytelling. Each individual project have been selected because they show strong consistency and coherence in both visual expression and storytelling.
