“Our ambition is that Landskrona becomes the capital of photography in Scandinavia,” says photographer and festival curator Jenny Nordquist. “We want photography to manifest itself in public spaces, from shop windows to parks and old buildings, and become a perceptible part of experiencing the city. This is both an open invite for the visitor to discover the city and a practical consideration about what public spaces – so often privatised by advertising or market economics – can and must be.”Beet Field Battery © Caleb Charland, on show at the Citadellet www.landskronafoto.org/en/fotofestival-2017/ Making of ‘9/11’ (by John Del Giorno, 2001).

From the group show Up to Now organised by Fabrica in the Exercishallen As 1991 continues to recede farther and farther into the distance, Central Asia, the former Soviet territory positioned between Russia, China, and the Middle East, is in the process of reinventing itself. Central Asians still speak Russian, but more and more of them are learning English or Chinese. They remain largely secular, but are practicing Islam in increasing numbers. Formations is a photographic narrative of this region as it navigates this transitional period, between the Soviet legacy and its still undetermined future. Formations was published by Fabrica in 2016. Formations © Aleksey Kondratyev, courtesy Fabrica Kyrgyzstan/USA.

A native of Koriyama, 60km away from the nuclear power station, Midori Ito came to report on the state of the no-go zone.
