About Landskrona Foto Festival: Open Call 2018

The Landskrona Open Call window exhibition places 50 images throughout Landskrona city center in the windows of it’s boutiques, hotels and restaurants. With this exhibition we want to bring photography out into the public space, this is a crucial part of the festival, how we interact with the city and how we put it on the map. The window exhibition will run during the summer up to and during Landskrona Foto Festival. To accompany the exhibition we will produce a catalogue of all the images selected.
