Also connected to Fotobokfestival Oslo 2023 is a satellite program where relevant participants participate to the festival with their own events. This year we are delighted to have Tronsmo, Fotografiens Hus, CYAN Studio, Grafill, Mirage Film Festival and Atelie / Katja Høst as satellites. 

CYAN studio
Show your book!
Date: Friday September 1
Location: Jens Bjelkes gate 13a
www.cyanstudio.no

Opening hours:
18.00 – 21.00

CYAN studio offers accessible works and meeting spaces to photographers, with a studio and gallery and an analogue darkroom. Since 1998, CYAN has hosted more than 200 photo exhibitions, organized workshops, talks, portfolio reviews and artist residencies as well as a photo zine marathon, chatroulette party, photo lottery, and grants shows.

Preus museum is the national museum of photography that covers both the artistic, cultural history and the technical aspects of photography as a medium and is a natural meeting place for photography, nationally and internationally. 

Do you have a photo book idea that you would like to discuss, or is your hard drive full of photographs that could be a photo book? Join us at Preus Museum for a talk and get feedback on your project! 

One evening during FFO23, the Preus Museum moves to CYAN studio in Oslo, looking forward to meeting and chatting with you about photography and books.

The event is open to everyone, and no registration is required. You can choose for yourself whether you want to take photographs with you, talk about a possible project or show a photo book dummy.

Reviewers from Preus museum are:
Hege Oulie, senior curator
Pål Henrik Ekern, diversity curator
Pål Otnes, Editor in Photography

There will also be an opportunity to look at a selection of books that we have brought for the occasion from Preus Museum's library and have a cup of coffee while you wait. Librarian Maja Holst Svendsen will be there and will be happy to have a chat.

“Something new, old or blue, it's all welcome at our photobook review”

Opening hours:
12.00 - 17.00

MIRAGE is a film festival and arena for “the art of the real” where films with highly cinematic ambitions meet photography, literature and sound. It features a selection of films from the most important film festivals, including artistic documentaries, hybrid films, and retrospectives of classics from the documentary genre.

Most importantly, MIRAGE is a social festival, a place to share experiences, and a place to be surprised, fascinated, delighted and challenged by the art of cinema but also exhibitions, talks, parties and concerts. We want to evoke mind-opening conversations and facilitate meetings with the most interesting artists and filmmakers of our time. Showcasing the latest premieres and hottest cutting-edge titles from film festivals like Cannes, Berlinale, Venice, Rotterdam, Visions du Réel, CPH:DOX and many more. MIRAGE films let you travel in your head, captivate you, stimulate your curiosity and open your eyes to new perspectives.

During Fotobokfestival Oslo 2023, MIRAGE has selected Self-Portrait by artist and filmmaker Joële Walinga to be shown at Fotogalleriet. The film is a portrait of humanity as captured by its surveillance cameras.
