About
The festival OFF Bratislava acquires its uniqueness by being a platform for new talents from the photography scene. Since its inception, the aim of the event has been to create optimum conditions for the promotion and support of emerging artists working in the field of photography and new media. The festival started in 2010 and during its 14-year history it has explored various social topics. It has thus stimulated contemplation, for example, on the ideology of dogma, the mystery of birth, the revolutionary manifesto, the archive of the future, the generation Y, the force of migration, or the human impact on our planet’s ecosystem.
The sixteenth edition of the OFF Bratislava festival will take us on a journey into the unknown – a realm of limitless possibilities, where alternate dimensions stretch far beyond our understanding. Reality is neither fixed nor constant; it swirls like a vortex, pulling us through veils of existence, bending time, and distorting perception. This force is more than a mere metaphor; it’s a gateway, fracturing the world and thrusting us into the uncharted. Every thought and subsequent doubt can propel us to another level, driven by curiosity and courage. Some planes resemble our own, just slightly distorted, like a dream remembered in fragments. Others abandon all logic – colors vibrate with sound, space collapses in on itself, and gravity slips away while we plunge into a hypnotic trance.
