Sami Farra Selected for Capture Photography Festival Installation at Vancouver Station
Sami Farra, an architect and photographer based in Lausanne, Switzerland, has been chosen as the winner of an open call for the Capture Photography Festival. His work will be displayed at the Olympic Village Canada Line Station in Vancouver. Farra's practice examines photography's relationship to reality by combining images and objects. The installation features two series: one exploring accidental sculptures from found objects, and another involving manipulated prints that highlight tensions between representation and materiality. His background in architecture informs his investigation of how photography and built environments intersect.
