The theme of Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo 2025 is AUSTRALIA & NEW WORLD and it will take place from 13 June to 12 October 2025.<\/p>\n
30 exhibitions\u00a0are dedicated to the most diverse aspects of the relationship between people and their environment. Starting from the visitor center at Brusattiplatz, the festival extends over 7 kilometers, divided into a\u00a0garden route\u00a0and an\u00a0urban route. Embedded in public spaces, around\u00a01,500 large-format photographs\u00a0by the world\u2019s best photographers can be seen.\u00a0Admission is free.<\/p>\n
Since its inception, our festival has been committed to repeatedly placing the nature that gives us life at the center of the exhibitions. Photographic narratives between beauty, humanistic reflection, anger and despair.<\/p>\n
Australia,\u00a0almost a hundred times the size of Austria, has a population of just under 26 million. Australian photographers are ambassadors for the beauty of a unique continent that needs to be preserved. They love their country so much that they even use poetry to denounce mistakes, and they use food \u2013 a visual signature that overflows with creativity. Their works explore the themes of identity and the environment, moving between drama, black humor, fiction and reality:\u00a0Matthew Abbot, Narelle Autio, Tamara Dean, Adam Ferguson, Bobbi Lockyer, Trent Parke,\u00a0Anne Zahalka,\u00a0Viviane Dalles\u00a0and\u00a0Agence France-Presse.<\/p>\n
In the\u00a0New World, we encounter the works of\u00a0Louise Johns\u00a0and\u00a0Joel Meyerowitz in the USA,\u00a0which we juxtapose with the perspectives of Austrian\u00a0Alfred Seiland.\u00a0Mitch Dobrowner\u2019s\u00a0photographs bear witness to the apocalypse of extreme weather phenomena.\u00a0George Steinmetz\u2019s magnum opus \u201cFeed The Planet\u201d answers the question of whether the world will be able to feed 10 billion people. We also juxtapose his work with that of\u00a0Dieter Bornemann, an Austrian photographer, in the form of his series \u201aAufgegessen\u2018 (Eaten Up). This series aims to raise awareness of the huge issue of food waste.\u00a0Alessandro Cinque\u00a0presents his long-term project on the consequences of mining in Andean countries. With\u00a0Ulla Lohmann\u00a0we travel to the volcano people of Papua New Guinea.\u00a0Ga\u00ebl Turine\u00a0takes us to the sacred forests of Benin, where voodoo gods are considered true guardians of biodiversity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
