FOMU ANNOUNCES NEW SELECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR .TIFF 2024!

Longread   •   03:00 May 2024

Every year FOMU selects ten promising phototographers, all living or working in Belgium. In addition to a variety of networking opportunities, FOMU will accompany them on a development journey to create the portfolio magazine .tiff, culminating in a group exhibition.

Like ‘Belgian photography’, .tiff has many angles. It gives a flavour of the diversity and energy in Belgium’s photography landscape. Using .tiff, FOMU offers emerging talent a platform to reach a wider audience and network.

How to organize a talent program that actually benefits the artists? Ever since the inception of .tiff in 2012, this question has been guiding FOMU in its effort to support emerging photographers.

With .tiff, FOMU tries to offer the participants an individual trajectory, tailored to their needs. For a period of one year, FOMU puts its network, expertise and other resources at the disposal of the selected artists, encouraging them to further develop their artistic practice according to their own vision. During this process, we offer them national and international visibility as well as advice on how to navigate the photography world.

SELECTION .tiff 2024

We are proud to announce the new selection for .tiff 2024. The 2024 group consists of Romain Cavallin, Elise Dervichian & Lina Wielant, Romane Iskaria, Ksenia Kuleshova, Catherine Lemblé, Nathan Mbouebe, Angyvir Padilla, Marcel Top, Marens Van Leunen, and Laure Winants. This year, we were assisted by jury members Tom Callemin (artist and member of the .tiff 2014 edition), Damarice Amao (curator at Centre Pompidou Paris), and Pieter Vermeulen (art critic and curator).

.Tiff is a flexible program that caters to the needs of emerging artists. The accompanying magazine provides an in-depth introduction to the work of the selected photographers. The exhibition will take place in the summer of 2024 at FOMU’s neighbors in Zuiderpershuis, where artists will have the space to showcase the uniqueness of their work and create unexpected dialogues. The exhibition will continue later in the late summer at De Brakke Grond in Amsterdam. Additionally, the program includes networking moments with international professionals and coaching sessions.

With .tiff, FOMU offers a fresh perspective on the possibilities of photography, connecting you with what is happening among emerging creators. .tiff is a reflection of society, viewed through a healthy critical lens.


.TIFF: TRAJECT, MAGAZINE AND EXHIBITION

.Tiff originally started out as a printed magazine in 2012, but gradually grew into a year-long trajectory with presentations, conversations with experts, exhibitions etc.

The magazine, which is still an important part of the project, consists of folded posters and presents itself as a small-scale, fold-out exhibition. Each photographer presents their work on one of the posters according to their own liking. The magazine is sold at a democratic price, thus aiming to reach a broad audience.

The magazine is sold in the FOMU shop and on www.shop.fomu.be for 7 EUR.

With the generous support of Walufin N.V.
