UFO Presences
by Javier Arcenillas

Javier Arcenillas

UFO presences is a unique and entertaining project about the places where UFO sightings are believed to have occurred and how these sightings have transformed towns, roads, and cities, turning the legend into a part of everyday life.
Restaurants and tourist attractions are created that capitalize on alien stories and exploit the myth of what supposedly happened at Area 51 and Roswell. The psychosis and missiles of the Cold War imbued this subculture with alarm and fear of alien invasion, creating B-movies and artistic movements that are still present in the collective imagination today.
The project, which conceptualizes the UFO phenomenon through images, maps, and graphics, offers us places where these strange apparitions have entered a unique subculture, imbuing them with a singular energy and changing the patterns of society. The exhibition’s research is combined with a dynamic photographic narrative that offers technically impeccable images and a purely photographic aesthetic framework.

Other Joys
by Alice Poyzer

alice

Other Joys is an ongoing body of work that highlights my special interests as someone on the spectrum, whilst also discussing the difficulties I face as an autistic woman. The process of making these photographs provides me with a safe space to unmask — something that I cannot always access in day to day life. What was once a fear of being deemed different has now become a celebration of self-acceptance and understanding.

Throughout the work there are visual comments on my own autistic traits, such as my need for sensory comfort and how easy it is for me to be overwhelmed. The self-portraits featured, all different in tonality, expression and mood, mirror how I feel in real life; forever moulding myself to fit in with others, whilst the repetition of certain symbols suggests my need for consistent routine.

Overall, Other Joys is a project made to ignite a conversation on how we can improve autistic representation, particularly surrounding women on the spectrum who are often unheard and underestimated.

The Gay Space Agency
by Mackenzie Calle

Mackenzie Calle

From 1959 to 1972, NASA’s Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronaut candidates were required to take two heterosexuality tests. In 1994, NASA asked flight surgeon Dr. Patricia Santy “to include homosexuality as a psychiatrically disqualifying condition” for astronauts. The psychiatric team protested, but NASA insisted. A 2022 study found that LGBTQ+ astronauts “perceived that being out may ‘hurt their chances of getting a [Space Shuttle] flight.'” While three astronauts’ q***r sexualities became public after their missions to space, to date, NASA has never selected an openly LGBTQ+ astronaut.

Caigo
by Francesco Costantini

Francesco Costantini

Caigo explores the silence surrounding Porto Marghera’s industrial legacy, a silence shaped by what
is ignored, concealed, and systematically left outside public attention. Through images, archives,
and testimonies, it traces a landscape suspended between intimacy and threat, a place I recognise as
home, yet one that continues to poison its inhabitants. Here, tragedy lies not only in what happened,
but in the contamination still flowing through the lagoon and in our collective refusal to see it.

In Nemore
Where the Mist Lifts
by Gabriela De Giacomo

Gabriela de Giacomo

The project takes its name from the Latin nemus, a term that signifies more than simply a forest: it refers to a hidden place where the boundary between nature, memory, and the unseen grows thin.

In ancient tradition, the nemus was a space set apart, suspended between the human world and what lies beyond. Through a photographic exploration of the mountains of Italy, the project investigates the legends that continue to inhabit forests, rocks, and valleys, revealing a landscape where nature and imagination still resonate with one another.

// Candidature Aperte

Il Photobook Making Lab di Yogurt è un percorso dedicato ad artisti e artiste che desiderano trasformare un progetto fotografico in un dummy editoriale strutturato e consapevole.

Nel corso del laboratorio, i partecipanti saranno accompagnati nella costruzione del libro come spazio narrativo, lavorando su editing, sequenza, ritmo, relazione tra immagini e testi, struttura, materiali e identità visiva del progetto.

Attraverso incontri collettivi, sessioni individuali e analisi di photobook contemporanei, il percorso affronterà il processo di sviluppo del dummy in tutte le sue fasi, dalla costruzione della narrazione fino alla progettazione editoriale e produttiva del libro.

Particolare attenzione verrà dedicata alla relazione tra forma e contenuto, alla sostenibilità produttiva del progetto e al dialogo con stampa, carta e materiali.

Il programma si concluderà con tre giornate intensive a Roma, sviluppate in collaborazione con , dedicate alla costruzione e prototipazione dei dummy in formato cartaceo. I partecipanti entreranno così in contatto diretto con gli aspetti produttivi, materiali e costruttivi del photobook.

Ai partecipanti è richiesta una conoscenza base di Adobe InDesign.

Il lab è rivolto a progetti già avviati o a ricerche che abbiano raggiunto una forma narrativa definita.

Il laboratorio sarà aperto a un massimo di 6 partecipanti.

I partecipanti saranno selezionati tramite portfolio e colloquio.

Vive la résistance
by Marta Bogdańska

This project can be seen this year
at Fotofestiwal, which takes place from June 19 to June 28 in Łódź, Poland.
bogdanska
Fotofestiwal Łódź

My long-term archive-based audio-visual project Vive la résistance! continues and further develops the artistic research from my previous work SHIFTERS, which reflected on animals in wars and espionage. The project combines media, photographic and archival materials collected during long-term research, my own photo-collage work, series of video essays with soundtracks of original audio compositions, objects, texts and lenticular prints.

At the core of this project lies a question: how to talk about animal resistance and agency?

Based on ideas of thinkers like Éric Baratay, Donna Haraway, Eduardo Cohn, Jason Hribal, Sarat Colling, Peter Singer, Olga Tokarczuk, Magdalena Środa, Jessica Ullrich, Martin Ullrich and others, I want to build an artistic response that investigates the factual and possible ways of animal defiances and refusals.

There are multiple ways in which animals show their resistance: escape, passive resistance, active resistance, refusal to eat, aggression, death, refusal to procreate, apathy, transgressions. These acts can be instinctual but they can also become strategies of behaviour — ways of resisting passed to communities or through generations, for example when rats learn not to eat poison or their organisms adapt to it. It is the physical body that puts up resistance.

Mind of Winter
by Karolina Gembara

This project can be seen this year
at Fotofestiwal, which takes place from
June 19 to June 28 in Łódź, Poland.

Fotofestiwal Łódź
Karolina Gembara

Mind of Winter is a photobook project about the forced displacements that redrew Central and Eastern Europe after 1945. That year, at Potsdam, the Western Allies and the Soviet Union shifted Poland’s borders westward: the country lost its eastern provinces — today’s western Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania — and was given formerly German territory in the west.

Whole populations were then moved to fit the new map. Germans were expelled westward;
Poles displaced from the lost east were resettled into the houses the Germans had just been forced to abandon. It was a chain reaction of expulsion, euphemised by Poland’s communist state as “repatriation” to the “Recovered Territories,” and then largely silenced for three generations.

Working from the perspective of that third generation, the project approaches the history not through testimony but through what it leaves behind: inherited objects of uncertain origin, family albums altered by their successive owners, and official archives that catalogue timber and ruins more readily than people.
