WORLDS IN VIEW
Photography has always been a way of making sense of the world. Yet there is no single world, no universal perspective, no definitive truth. Instead, we encounter a multitude of realities shaped by culture, memory, geography, identity, and personal experience.
The artists presented in WORLDS IN VIEW offer precisely such diverse perspectives. Their images move between documentary observation and artistic interpretation, between intimacy and distance, between the local and the global. Together, they reveal photography’s unique ability to connect individual experience with broader social, cultural, and environmental narratives.
Presented by ProfiFoto as part of the Rencontres d’Arles OFF programme, WORLDS IN VIEW brings together photographers from different continents, backgrounds, and visual traditions. Inspired by the spirit of discovery that has always defined photography, the exhibition invites viewers to look beyond familiar horizons and encounter the richness, complexity, and contradictions of our contemporary world.
Every photograph represents a way of seeing. Together, they form a constellation of worlds.
