This catalogue presents the Helsinki Photography Festival 2005 exhibitions and screenings (Helsinki, 7 October – 6 November 2005). The festival brings together 16 British and 12 Finnish contemporary artists who address fundamental questions concerning the medium, using photography, video, painting or installation. Their work reflects on the interplay between objectivity and subjectivity; on questions of the flatness and depth of the image; and on the temporal and narrative aspects of the photographic image. In addition to the work presentations and short biographies the catalogue includes five texts addressing the specificity of the photographic medium and the role of photography magazines in contemporary media culture.
