miniature-model-camera-hand-S

This is an ideal event for all those who would like to see what a Fotomarathon is about, and also for those enthusiastic fotomarathonists who cannot wait until 18.06.2011.

As this is a mini-version, it is free of charge, and there are only 25 places available, a good reason to register as quickly as you make up your mind -just click HERE to secure your place. Registrations will only be taken online and until Noveber 4th. As usual, you can bring one or more friends along.

The starting shot will be fired at 14.00 on November 6 at the Galerie  Orange in der Wühlischstr. 37 in 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain, where we are currently presenting our exhibition "Time Travel: 10x Fotomarathon Berlin", showing all winning series of the last 10 years and the 2010 winners of two other European Fotomarathons in Cardiff and Copenhagen. Please be there at least half an hour before the star, to ensure we have time to give you your participant´s number.

 

The mini fotomarathon will take place during three hours, during which four themes must be illustrated -a really light version of the original Fotomarathon, where 24 themes have to be illustrated in 12 hours.

Everyone with a digital camera with a removable memory card can participate. Cameras with wi-fi or bluetooth will not be accepted. Important: during the mini Fotomarathon only four photos can be handed in and only four photos can be in your memory card -only those taken during the competition. If you are embarking on a parallel photo safari, we recommend you bring an extra memory card for those pictures. ideally, bring an empty memory card, and an extra one just in case, as well as fully charged batteries.

After three hours of mini-fotomarathon, we reconvene at 17.00 hs at the Galerie Orange, to see and evaluate the results together, to exchange experiences and to recover from the creative challenge. By coincidence it is quite fitting that the meeting point is also a Winery! Instead of the Jury and an award ceremony, the Fotomarathon team will share some tips and tricks so you can persuade the Jury next time around. If you want to start thinking like a winner, we recommend you take a look at the Interviews we conducted with this year´s winners (only partially in English)

Remember to register soon if you want to be one of the 25 lucky fotomarathonists! Register here.

Modern Life, New Images


‘Modern times, new Images’ is the phrase that sums it all up – a theme focusing on photography as an instrument of modernisation. Museums and cultural institutions, galleries and exhibition organisers have been invited to dedicate their exhibitions to this modernising function of the photographic medium, taking different aspects into account. After all, it has long been a matter of general knowledge that photographs do more than just ‘reproduce reality’. What the camera registers, and the way in which the result is reproduced, is rather a matter of interpretation and so can be seen as the creation of new and additional realities. Several specific fields relating to this theme were proposed to participating institutions by way of example, and all these areas reappear in the festival in the form of historic, and – even more importantly – contemporary samples of the art.

This year’s MdF is divided in five main blocks:

  • Metropolitan lifestyle(s)
  • Fashion photography
  • Photography and science
  • New pictorial worlds and techniques

You can read all about the 4. MdF at the official website www.mdf-berlin.de.
