RECONNECTED does not just mean a mere com­pi­la­tion of pho­to­graphs: it‘s more about the inten­sive explo­ra­tion of the com­plex web of rela­ti­onships that unites us, regard­less of our respec­tive origins. The focus of the exhi­bi­tion is the uni­ver­sal lan­guage of images, com­bi­ned with an invi­ta­tion from the artists — both the mem­bers of United Photo Press and the guest artists — to take a jour­ney beyond geo­gra­phi­cal boun­da­ries.
Each of the images tells a uni­que story and cap­tures moments that evoke shared emo­ti­ons and expe­ri­en­ces. From fasci­na­ting land­scapes to moving por­traits, RECONNECTED inclu­des a diverse spec­trum of artistic works and illu­mi­na­tes the widest pos­si­ble range of artistic expres­sion. The aim is to pro­mote a sense of toge­ther­ness and encou­rage view­ers to reflect on the com­mon foun­da­ti­ons that form the basis of our huma­nity.
RECONNECTED is not just a visual expe­ri­ence, it‘s an invi­ta­tion to redis­co­ver our shared values and app­re­ciate the beauty that ari­ses when cul­tures inter­sect. United Photo Press invi­tes you to join this trans­for­ma­tive jour­ney. Explore the diverse and inter­con­nec­ted world of con­tem­porary pho­to­gra­phy, be inspi­red by the beauty of dif­fe­rent per­spec­tives, and redis­co­ver the shared sto­ries that con­nect us all.
