Until the 18th, Yongsan-gu Ichon-dong Nodeul Gallery
Fujifilm Electronic Imaging Korea announced on the 13th that it will hold the planned exhibition "Photo Festa 2024 - A Thousand Dreams" at Nodeul Gallery in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
This exhibition was organized to provide an opportunity for active Fujifilm camera users to realize their "dream of exhibiting." Starting with an opening reception on the 10th, "Photo Festa 2024" consists of a variety of programs created together by participants and visitors, including the main exhibition "A Thousand Dreams," special exhibitions, and designer talks.
The main exhibition "A Thousand Dreams" showcases 15 series photos and 20 single photos taken with Fujifilm cameras under diverse themes such as landscapes, portraits, documentary, art, commercial, street photography, and even beginners. In particular, the direction by photographer Seong Nam-hoon, who has won the World Press Photo Award multiple times and serves as the exhibition director, added to the completeness of the exhibition.
The special exhibition "New York Street Photography - Thousands of Perspectives" is an exchange exhibition with Contact Photo Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, where you can appreciate the various "todays" of the world-renowned city New York as recorded by 21 photographers based in New York.
At the talk session held earlier on the 11th, Masazumi Imai, Fujifilm’s chief designer who led the design of key products in the X series and GFX series, visited Korea. Having established the identity of Fujifilm digital cameras, he spoke about Fujifilm’s design domain and philosophy, the direction of digital camera design, and behind-the-scenes stories. During the Q&A session, he received great responses by carefully answering the diverse and active questions from attendees one by one.
Masazumi said, "I am grateful to have spent meaningful time with young and passionate Fujifilm users. I felt a great sense of fulfillment knowing that they understand the essence of cameras that Fujifilm pursues and love the products."
From the 13th, additional special exhibitions will open. First, works by a total of 30 people from the 3rd to 6th terms of the "Seoul Archive Project - A Thousand Cameras," which archives Seoul for social public purposes in collaboration with Fujifilm Korea, will be exhibited. Also, to commemorate Fujifilm’s 90th anniversary, 90 winning works from a photo contest held via SNS will be displayed in "90th Anniversary Photo Contest - Spreading More Smiles to the World," attracting visitors.
Additionally, the documentary photographer group "Onbit Documentary" will present exhibitions covering various genres and themes at "Photo Festa 2024," including "Isolated Life, Isolated Death," which won the Onbit Fujifilm Award.
"Photo Festa 2024" also offers various programs that visitors can participate in, such as a 1-day shooting workshop, conversations with artists, the photo zone shooting project "My Shining Moment," a portfolio production special lecture by photographer Yubyeolnam, and Playground.
Lim Hoon, president of Fujifilm Korea, said, "Through Photo Festa 2024, we felt the interest and passion for photography not only from Fujifilm users but also from visitors. We will continue to create cultural and artistic spaces for those who love photography." He added, "We hope you visit the site of Photo Festa 2024, where diverse exhibitions and programs are prepared, and enjoy this urban photography festival that will make you forget the heat."
The exhibition will be held at Nodeul Gallery in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, until the 18th.
