I Don't Know How to Respond to That
PhMuseum Days 2023
International Photography Festival
22.09–01.10 Bologna, Italy
PhMuseum International Photo Festival is back for its third edition scheduled from 22 September to 1 October 2023 in Bologna, Italy.
The chosen theme is “I Don't Know How To Respond To That”, the answer that virtual assistants like Apple Siri give when they can't find a solution to our questions. The aim is to explore the dialogue between humans and machine, with a particular focus on the development of language in a broad sense. Through the works on display we will try to understand how our relationship with technology and our ways of communicating evolve in a world characterized by continuous innovations.
The event will be held at the DumBO’s Spazio Bianco in Bologna, Italy, a 1600 square meter post-industrial pavilion that will host exhibitions, presentations, a space dedicated to photographic publishing and an outdoor area. Plus, installations across the city of Bologna, events and more.
