The Riga Photography Biennial 2026 publication marks a decade-long journey of the event, thematically exploring the phenomenon of “self-existence alongside others” across a variety of contexts. The catalogue examines the reassessment of images and the messages they convey in an era of rapid technological development, where the dominance of virtual environments has significantly changed our perception and the very lexicon of contemporary art.
The catalogue provides detailed information on the biennial’s extensive exhibition programme, including the central event “Zoom In: Ecology”, and solo projects by artists such as Priyageetha Dia, Māra Brašmane, Ieva Epnere, and Rūta Kalmuka. It also highlights the educational programme, featuring discussions on Polish photography after the AI era and the symposium “Togetherness”.
The generously illustrated catalogue serves as a comprehensive guide to the 2026 biennial’s participants, curators, and themes.
