Circulation(s) Festival Showcases Emerging European Photography at Centquatre-Paris

The 16th edition of the Circulation(s) festival, organized by the collective Fetart, runs until May 17 at Centquatre-Paris in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, France. This annual event highlights young European photographers, featuring 26 artists from 15 countries, with Ireland as the guest nation. Works span diverse mediums, including installations and hybrid forms, addressing contemporary themes like memory, ecology, surveillance, and Gen Z representations. Czech artist Alžběta Drcmánková, born in 2001, creates glitch-inspired broderies with rocaille stones, while Slovak artist Nina Pacherová, born in 1988, explores motherhood through fluorescent tapestries based on The Sims video game. French artist Manon Tagand, born in 1997, presents an installation titled Boîte noire, investigating family history linked to Cameroon. Latvian artist Konstantin Zhukov, born in 1990, traces queer histories in his country. The festival, active since 2011, serves as a laboratory for photographic innovation and a platform for emerging voices, with workshops and photo sessions throughout. It reflects broader societal concerns through intimate and collective narratives, positioning images as spaces of resistance and reinvention. The venue is located at 5 Rue Curial, 75019 Paris, with details available at www.104.fr.
