Four artists, including Duan Yuting, Yang Fudong, Zhuang Hui, Han Lei and Yan Ming, deputy mayor of Lianzhou Municipal People's Government, introduced the highlights and preparations of this photo festival to the media and guests present. Major media in Beijing attended the press conference.

This year's Lianzhou International Photography Annual Exhibition was held from165438+1October 23rd to 65438+February12nd with the theme "How far is the story from the truth?" The chief curators are Mr. Franois Saval and Ms. Duan Yuting from Nieps Photography Museum. Although Mr. Fran? ois Saval was not present that day, he clearly pointed out the significance of this topic in his theme exposition: "Image is integrated with the world, regardless of good or evil, regardless of the quality of photography. In the final mass production of photography, all that can be left is the appropriateness of the story and its persistence in our memory. This is the narrative of photography. In a photo, there are no major events and few decisive moments. These images reflect the real world and have nothing to do with authenticity, truth or lies. When interpreting these images, their narratives tell us the same answer: it is impossible to see clearly by all these scattered and mixed clues. "

Franois Saval has devoted himself to the exploration of photographic historical documents for many years, and is an internationally recognized authority on reforming the system of photographic museums and studying the contemporary photographic ecology. His view of photography subverts the laws of modern photography and art construction in commercial times, and deconstructs modern photography. In numerous exhibitions he planned, he tried to show the possible new dimensions in contemporary photography. This year's Lianzhou International Photography Exhibition, "How far is the story from the truth?"

The international part of the theme exhibition will show us the new dimensions that he has always wanted to present, and introduce the most active photographers in Europe and even the world to China audience, including the famous American contemporary artist mcadams, the cover artist Elena Brauthers of "This is Contemporary Photography", the mysterious anonymous Frenchman, the popular Congolese photographer Sammy Barauj, and the British artist Julie coburn.

Ms. Duan Yuting, the domestic part of the theme exhibition, invited four representatives of contemporary art and photography circles in China to plan the exhibition: Yang Fudong, Zhuang Hui, Han Lei and Yan Ming. The project specially planned by this artist may be different from what the professional curator presents to the audience.
