Deltag i denne unikke Gallery Crawl til nogle af vores udvalgte partnerudstillinger i CPF X-programmet – en fælles gåtur til fire unikke fotoudstillinger i indre by. Vi besøger Davis Gallery, Det Grønlandske Hus, Banja Rathnov Kunsthandel & Galleri og Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand, hvor spændende udstillinger venter.
OM UDSTILLINGERNE
Davis Gallery
Ásgeir Pétursson præsenterer Icescapes, en fotografisk udforskning af Grønlands landskaber formet af is, tid og forandring. Værkerne fremhæver den skrøbelige balance mellem natur og menneskelig påvirkning og afspejler både skønhed og miljømæssigt tab i Arktis.
Det Grønlandske Hus
Nuuk Noir af Minik Bidstrup og Mie Laugesen kombinerer fotografi og poesi i et nuanceret portræt af Nuuk. Gennem kontrasterende perspektiver undersøger udstillingen forholdet mellem Grønland og Danmark og balancerer mørke, drømmende stemninger med politisk refleksion og modstandskraft.
Banja Rathnov Kunsthandel & Galleri
ATELIER / MUSEUM af Thorgej Steen Hansen er en installation fordelt over tre rum, der kombinerer fotografi, objekter og arkiver. Ved at kontrastere kunstnerens atelier med et museum i Athen undersøger udstillingen mødet mellem personlig skabelse og kulturhistorie.
Kunstforeningen G. Strand
Denne udstilling kredser om Katharina Sieverdings eksperimenterende film Life–Death (1969), som udforsker temaer som identitet, transformation og kroppen gennem uscriptede, kontrastfyldte billeder. Præsenteret som en dobbeltprojektion fremhæver den hendes performative brug af kameraet og vedvarende fokus på selvfremstilling.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS
Davis Gallery
Ásgeir Pétursson presents Icescapes, a photographic exploration of Greenland’s landscapes shaped by ice, time and transformation. The works highlight the fragile balance between nature and human impact, reflecting both beauty and environmental loss in the Arctic.
Det Grønlandske Hus
Nuuk Noir by Minik Bidstrup and Mie Laugesen combines photography and poetry to create a nuanced portrait of Nuuk. Through contrasting perspectives, the exhibition explores the relationship between Greenland and Denmark, balancing dark, dreamlike moods with political reflection and resilience.
Banja Rathnov Kunsthandel & Galleri
ATELIER / MUSEUM by Thorgej Steen Hansen is an installation across three rooms, combining photography, objects and archives. By contrasting the artist’s studio with a museum in Athens, the exhibition explores the meeting between personal creation and cultural history.
Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand
This exhibition centers on Katharina Sieverding’s experimental film Life–Death (1969), exploring themes of identity, transformation and the body through unscripted, contrasting imagery. Presented as a double projection, it highlights her performative use of the camera and lasting focus on self-representation.

Celebrating photo books!

The photo book has a special place in most photographers' hearts – as well as in the hearts of many photography lovers. This year, Copenhagen Photo Festival, together with selected partners, has therefore chosen to give special space and attention to the photo book. We look forward to enjoying lots of inspirational photo books and talks all over the city.
The festival has this year teamed up with the Kunstforeningen GL STRAND to present a special festival photo book market in the center of Copenhagen with around +20 publishers and actors as well as a day-long talk and screening program on the 4 June.
Indulging in photographic narratives at GL STRAND
We look forward to welcoming both photo book publishers, artists, festival guests and art gallery visitors to a day indulged in photo books, talks and screenings in the art gallery’s beautiful hall decorated by Erik A. Frandsen.
The market is the perfect place to visit if you want to keep in touch with contemporary Nordic photo books. And if the weather is nice the gallery will open the courtyard and outdoor bar to the visitors.
You can find the full list of exhibitors and the talk & screening programme (which will be announced primo May) in our focus section. If you have a festival ticket you get free entrance to the photo book market and half price on the entrance to see the exhibitions at The art association GL STRAND 4 June.
Talks at Thiemer’s
Likewise, every day during the festival period, a local cultural hotspot for books and coffee on Frederiksberg, Thiemers Magasin, invites festival guests to visit their photo book exhibition and a daily happy hour from 5 to 6 pm called ‘Sign & Talk & Drink’. Here photographers talk about their recent work and practice in relation to the photo book. The full talk programme will be announced primo May.
Celebrating the best of photo books at Refshaleøen
In addition, the festival is very happy to host Paris Photo and the Aperture Foundation's celebration of the past year's prize-winning photo books in the festival center on Refshaleøen this year.
2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the Paris Photo-Aperture Photobook Awards – a celebration of the photobook’s contributions to the evolving narrative of photography. The award recognizes excellence in 3 major categories of photobook publishing: First PhotoBook, PhotoBook of the Year, and Photography Catalogue of the Year.
The exhibition of the 35 books shortlisted for the 2022 PhotoBook Awards was exhibited at the Grand Palais Ephémère during Paris Photo in November and has recently been on view in Printed Matter in New York City – thereafter the exhibition will tour internationally and reach Copenhagen in June where it will be presented at the festival center on Refshaleøen.
