Milica Macanović was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1990. She is a visual artist, whose work explores the emotional layers of intimacy, memory, and identity in the context of digital and physical space. With a formal education in architecture (M.Arch, University of Belgrade), she approaches image-making with both structural sensitivity and personal vulnerability.

Her artistic language blends photography, self-portraiture, drawing, and text, often moving through themes of (auto)reflection, fragmented communication, and the poetics of absence. Her recent project Weird Fish is You — a two-year conceptual exploration of virtual connection and emotional presence — was awarded a solo exhibition at the Tivat Photo Days festival in 2025 and continues to evolve across multiple formats.

Milica’s work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions across Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Portugal, Norway, and the United States. She is a member of ULUPUDS (The Association of Applied Arts Artists and Designers of Serbia) and with the status of an independent artist.

Her images are often quiet, suggestive, and emotionally charged — documents of both inner states and imagined encounters.

Anna Haillot (b. 1995) is an artist and author. She lives and works between Le Havre and Nice, in France. Somewhere between contemplation and surrealism, Anna Haillot's work explores a poetic world where the image becomes sensitive matter. A multi-disciplinary artist, she combines photography, text, publishing and installation to explore the links between body, cosmos and narrative. She works with materiality, printing her images on a variety of papers and supports, as close as possible to her sensations. Her works, nourished by dreams, natural phenomena
and intimate experiences, draw hybrid spaces traversed by trouble, gentleness and metaphysics.

Dominik Scharf // Erdi
36 years old
Based in Bochum // Germany
Photographer and Art Director for audiovisual media

Hello, my name is Dominik Scharf, but my friends call me Erdi. Somehow, I stumbled into the world of media and can’t seem to get out. I learned graphic design at 18, studied photography at 21, and now I work as an art director for audiovisual media. My interest has always been in visual design — both in photography and videography.

I am a photographer with a passion for experimenting with light, nature, and new perspectives. Mesmerizing Glow is my passion project, which shows that much of what we consider "real" or "natural" depends on our own perception and interpretation. It invites viewers to see nature in a new way, recognize its fragility, and reflect on how light, darkness, and absence shape the world we experience.

My intention is not to point fingers – but to create a space where perception, empathy, and awareness can grow. For me, it’s an attempt to encounter the seemingly familiar with renewed attention and to understand nature not merely as a backdrop, but as a living counterpart.

With this project, I move between artistic photography, a deep ecological consciousness, and a personal, almost philosophical reflection on our reality. In a time shaped by global crises, digital overstimulation, and growing environmental uncertainty, I aim to offer a moment of stillness through my visual language – a pause, a sense of wonder, an honest dialogue with what surrounds us, but in a different way. To make the familiar feel unfamiliar again in order to rediscover it.

The world is crazy, a flash flood of color and chaos. Yet we all search for a spark of meaning, but nothing is true and everything is possible.

Shadi Nadimi, a 26-year-old documentary photographer, was born in 1998 and raised in Bojnourd, Iran.

Her family often appears in her work, as their presence helps her explore personal history within a wider cultural context.

Having originally studied Carpet Design for her bachelor’s degree, Nadimi is now a master’s student in Carpet Research.

Mindaugas Gabrenas is a Lithuanian fine art photographer who is currently based in Paris.
His background in the humanities and social sciences has nurtured his interest in people, and there is always a human presence in his pictures, even if it is barely perceptible. The author uses photography as a method of self-reflection. His photographs reflect personal states of being, self-identity, human temporality, and the perception of time. Gabrenas speaks in a universal language; his works can be read as poetry or prose, or even as an autobiography. The author pays much attention to the act of photography itself. He works with traditional, non-digital, silver photography, using a variety of medium-format film cameras, including some that are handmade.
His exquisitely handcrafted silver gelatin prints, lith prints, and collages, which he makes in his own darkroom, reflect a sense of calm and thorough originality. Mindaugas Gabrenas has exhibited his work both as a solo artist and in group shows around the world. His work has also been featured in the global media.

Federico Gargaglione
Born in 1988 in Enna, Italy.
Lives and works in Berlin.

His practice is an ongoing exploration of fragility, impermanence and the relationship between images, materiality and text. While rooted in photography, his work resists the inherent flatness of the medium, challenging the distance often created by framing, glossiness, and traditional modes of display. Instead, Gargaglione embraces the ephemeral, favouring humble, everyday materials that invite intimacy rather than detachment.
Nature and natural elements frequently serve as subjects and collaborators in his work. Through landscapes, plants and organic materials, he constructs a poetic language that reflects on the subtle, layered relationship between himself and the environment.
Materiality plays a crucial role in his creative process, extending from the photographic print to bookmaking. The book becomes a tactile, interactive object that allows for a more personal,
unfolding experience of the work, rather than just a container for images. Similarly, writing is an essential element that acts as both a companion to and a counterpoint to visual language. Text and image exist in dialogue with each other, informing and shaping one another.
The same sensibility is followed in his video practice. Rather than conventional narratives, his moving images maintain a sense of uneventful stillness, mirroring his photographic approach. These quiet, lingering frames heighten awareness of time, presence, and absence, providing a space for contemplation. Over time, this approach has become an exercise in tenderness, both in the way the work is created and in how it is received. By embracing fragility, he invites viewers into a quiet dialogue that encourages a shared sense of care, connection and recognition of the beauty in imperfection.

Dmitry Yurchenko was born in Riga, Latvia. After graduation from the Faculty of Civil Enginering and worked for a few years in this field moved to the South of Spain. Since 2010 live in Estonia: "For me, the process of photographing is the repetition of the same questions over and over: "What is this? What am I looking at?? What's happening around me???" Why does my peripheral vision suddenly react to some external trigger? I try to understand what sets off the chain of events that leads to a photograph being born. Who knows - maybe if I ever find the answer to that question, photography will no longer interest me, but for now, it's a fascinating pursuit. It's like a game of dice: instead of combinations of numbers, it's combinations of visual images that you sift through year after year, hoping to find a true treasure, to hit the jackpot".

Fatima El Hajjaji, born in Morocco in 1999, found her life taking a significant turn at a young age when her family relocated to Italy. Raised in a bilingual environment, she was exposed to two
distinct cultural influences that profoundly shaped her identity. Arabic instilled in her a deep capacity to listen and observe, while Italian fostered the confidence to express her thoughts and
opinions. As she navigated between these contrasting worlds, Fatima became a bridge between them, acting as a mediator of sorts.
Through the lenses of photography and documentary filmmaking, she seeks to articulate an intrinsic desire to depict the complexities of identity and belonging to a defined place. Her work is driven by a need to narrate the story of her own torn feelings as a child in diaspora.
