Due to the role of technology in the contemporary world, the function of the image in our society has changed. Millions of images are published and diffused, and remain instantly accessible. Selectively presented and manipulated, they lose what Walter Benjamin called their "aura". They are, however, as used by the mass media, more influential than ever. The possibilities of image manipulation are constantly developing and this entails dangers.
A combination of workshops by renowned photographers, lectures by theorists and specialists in this field, and exhibitions of well-known artists will be on offer to all those with an interest in photography. The theme of "mass media manipulation" is illustrated, for example, in the works of Massimo Vitali and Dionisos González, in the lectures by Klaus Honnef, Hubertus von Amelunxen, Hans-Michael Koetzle, Paul Rauchs and Michel Guerrin, as well as by Giacomo Costa, Peter Bialobrzeski, Yvon Lambert, Daniele Buetti, Antoine Agoudjian in the workshops on the manipulation of images, and by Daniel & Geo Fuchs about the possibilities of spreading them through the media, as well as in the films by Dieter Appelt, Michael Najjar, Roland Wirtz, Stanley Greene and William Klein.

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
