I am proud to be part of this great international Exhibition now Opening at AnalogMania Festival in Timisoara, Romania!
“Sehschärfenbestimmung” – 60 Artistic Approaches to Analogue Photography
Following its acclaimed debut during the Rotlicht Festival for Analog Photography in Vienna (2024) and the expanded presentation at the Zrno Festival for Analog Photography in Skopje (2025), the exhibition Sehschärfenbestimmung now arrives in Romania. We are proud to announce that the Analog Mania Art Festival has selected the current version of this large-scale group exhibition, featuring 60 international artists, for presentation at Casa Tineretului, Timișoara, from 13 October to 9 November 2025.
The title Sehschärfenbestimmung (literally: “eyesight control testing”) reflects the exhibition’s conceptual foundation. It embraces a diverse spectrum of artistic processes, all rooted in analog techniques and aesthetics. Each participating artist contributes a carefully curated selection from their body of work—ranging from personal favorites to works-in-progress and entirely new explorations.
The resulting image-strips, all uniformly sized at 20 x 120 cm, not only provide a cohesive visual experience but also evoke the nostalgic imagery of mounted analog negative rolls awaiting discovery. This presentation invites visitors to immerse themselves in a wide range of creative insights, innovative ideas, and captivating concepts—highlighting both the enduring beauty and the contemporary relevance of analog-based artistry.
The opening event will take place on Monday, 13 October 2025, in the evening, with many of the exhibiting artists in attendance. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the creators personally and engage in dialogue about their approaches to analog photography.
