On Thursday, September 12th, the Photoforum Pasquart will collaborate with pool collective to present a screening and networking event at Prozess Bar in Bern. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore contemporary photography through the lens of a diverse group of photographers focusing on personal and long-term artistic projects.

The screening will feature short video presentations from 15 contributors of the pool collective and the current artist-in-residence from Photoforum Pasquart. These videos, created specifically for this event, will be produced individually by the artists and developed in the pool collective’s trusted feedback sessions. The presentations offer fresh perspectives and insights into their creative processes.

The pool collective, a self-organized group of artists, is dedicated to fostering personally motivated work in the field of photography. The collective emphasizes exchange, networking, and visibility, regularly hosting activities and events that encourage feedback, experimentation, and collective learning.
