A central highlight of the festival is the Funplace, which already enjoyed great popularity in 2019. Presenting the latest developments from the imaging industry in a playful way, it invites visitors to experience and try out new photographic techniques in walk-in installations, photographic playgrounds, and live photo shoots. Outside the hall, the program will be complemented by a food market, lounge areas, and fun stops around the beloved Badeschiff. The vision of this year’s #berlin PHOTO WEEK can also be felt and experienced in front of the spacious ARENA complex.
"BERLIN PHOTO WEEK has established itself as a new charismatic #event format and cultural highlight that reaches far beyond the borders of #berlin. Despite the particular challenges we face this year, I am delighted to be part of this movement," says Anna-Maria Seifert, BPW Chief Operating Officer.
In addition to the announced exhibitions, "A Timeless Allure: The Photographic Art of George Hoyningen-Huene" (Villa Grisebach), "Punk!" (ARENA Club), "Koelbl – Wenders – Bender. 3 Generations of Leica" (ARENA Halle), and Thomas Hoepker's "Children of the Wall", (Watchtower at Schlesischer Busch), the Berlin-based photography institution CHAUSSEE 36 will offer a first glimpse of the recently acquired estate of the German photographer Heinz Hajek-Halke (1898–1983) with the exhibition "Heinz Hajek-Halke: Experiment".
On display will be a selection of iconic vintage prints from his extensive oeuvre, including early photomontages from the Weimar Republic and his striking abstract “light graphics” from the postwar period. The show is curated by photography expert and art consultant, Simone Klein.
IFA, the world's most significant trade show for consumer and home electronics with a record number of new products being unveiled is the main market place for key retailers, buyers, and experts from the industry and the media. 2021 #ifa is partnering with #berlin Photo Week, a unique and innovative #event format for everyone who loves images. While #berlin Photo Week offers the prelude and takes place from 26 August to 3 September 2021 at ARENA #berlin as the core location, #ifa #berlin runs from 3 to 7 September at the exhibition grounds. The overlap in time offers everyone the optimal added value of both worlds - imaging and tech.
