The Lens

For the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial, we teamed up with local videographers to produce a series of Artist and Curator Interviews. The majority of these videos were first premiered at the August 22nd Biennial Preview and Passport Launch at the OTR Stillhouse. Cindependent Film Festival helped us to create a fun cinematic experience for guests with their Reels on Wheels mobile cinema. We, then, shared shorter edits of each interview on social media throughout the month of October. Check out each of the full-length interview videos below:

For the 2024 iteration, FotoFocus announced a new Biennial initiative: Call for Entry Selections. These six selected projects highlight talent from the region’s artists and curators as part of the first large-scale regional Call for Entry in the Biennial’s history. Each month leading up to the Biennial, a Call for Entry project will be highlighted. Learn more about Humphrey Gets His Flowers, a combination of archival video, large-scale projection, mixed media collages, and photography. This project will be on view September 27, 2024–November 1, 2024 at Art Academy of Cincinnati: SITE1212.
