Biel Photography Days

In an era of a world of screens coexist with the world of bodies, where individuals make their way through a universe of representations, artificial intelligence and increasingly automated surroundings, the 26th edition of the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography offers a reflection on how our present society is embodied. When we have robots able to make decisions and autonomous cars that drive themselves, when people can create alter egos to live out experiences by proxy within a metaverse, the line between digital and real-life identities is becoming blurred. Now constantly networked, humans are incessantly confronted with their own image. They are observed, controlled, measured and often confined or forced into exile.

As every year, the festival is delighted to be collaborating with Swiss and international artists in planning exhibitions, often previously unseen, to be presented in 13 venues across the city.
