Fritt Ord and the Nobel Peace Centre invite the public to the opening ceremony of “”http://www.facebook.com/events/334798140294553">Shifting Boundaries – European Photo Exhibition Award 03" at 6 p.m. on Friday, 15 September 2017. Twelve young European photographers will show how boundaries are challenged in a Europe in flux.
Young women with eating disorders, soldiers in Ukraine and barbed wire fences in Hungary are among the topics addressed by the photo exhibition, which explores both psychological and physical boundaries. Technological boundaries are also being challenged at a time when the differences between the virtual world and the real world can be hard to see. “Shifting Boundaries” is a visual experience, at the same time as it is a comment on today’s Europe.
The twelve photographers taking part in epea03 are Arianna Arcara (Italy), Pierfrancesco Celada (Italy), Marthe Aune Eriksen (Norway), Jakob Ganslmeier (Germany), Margarida Gouveia (Portugal), Marie Hald (Denmark), Dominic Hawgood (UK), Robin Hinsch (Germany), Ildikó Péter (Hungary), Eivind H. Natvig (Norway), Marie Sommer (France) and Christina Werner (Austria).
