About Fotobiennalen
What we want to achieve
“[…] in this digital era when nearly anyone can make, alter, upload, and distribute their own imagery nearly instantaneously, billions of photographs and videos are uploaded daily, and hundreds of millions of tweets. How do we make sense of it all? Or can we?”

Founding Institutions
Fotobiennalen was founded in 2016 by three of the leading institutions for photography and lens based art in Denmark
The Museum of Photographic Art was hosted by Brandts for several years (1987 – 2013) and even as photography is now included in the visual arts alongside other media the lens based practices hold a special place in the overall strategy of the museum.
