Can waste be the subject of photography? MUFO x Interzero collaboration
We avoid them because we don’t like seeing them. At the same time, we produce a lot of them every day. Even if we hide them very deep, waste makes itself felt. Can waste be the subject of photography? How to talk about dealing with waste in a wise, responsible and interesting way?
Interzero joins forces with the Museum of Photography in Krakow to talk about the idea of a circular economy and the challenges associated with it. On this occasion, we will take photos to test the possibilities of photography as a visual way of talking about the problems of the modern world and raising awareness of environmental issues.
We will invite the recipients of our project to workshop and interpretive work, and we will present the results of all meetings in a publication that can also be used as a tool by educators.
The publication will be available at the beginning of 2024 on the following websites:
Home page – Museum of Photography in Krakow (mufo.krakow.pl)
Home page – Eco Without Edges (ekobezkantow.pl)
Meetings and workshops will be led by:
