Fang din by / Capture Your City 2020

/

Fang din by / Capture Your City - an annual photographic competition and exhibition - opened on 25 June on the square in front of the Danish Architecture Center and will continue here until 7 October 2020.

The theme set for this year was everyday magic with the photographers looking at the buildings and landscape of the city as it frames our lives.

As always, a large number of photographers from all over the country submitted their work and this exhibition, selected by a jury, shows 55 of the photographs with three winners selected from the open competition and the three selected from the separate competition for schools.

Fang din by - catch or capture your city - is an annual photographic competition at Dansk Arkitektur Centre - the Danish Architecture Centre or DAC - that demonstrates “that our cities are full of quirky details, historical corners, new urban spaces and fantastic architecture.”

This year the theme of the exhibition is transition in the city because our cities are changing every day and that change is fast. "We adapt to climate change, building height, the old is torn down creating new urban spaces." Information about the competition posed two questions ….

How does it look when old meets new? 
Is the transformation of our cities always good? 

Along with information about submission of images for the competition were also the recommendations that photographs should not only reflect the theme for this year but should also be an "exciting composition" and show the "interaction between urban space and people.

The competition was open to professional and amateur photographers and this year 3,000 people submitted images.

A final selection was made by a jury with Maja Dyrehauge Gregersen, Director of Copenhagen Photo Festival; the photo journalist Janus Engel Rasmussen, and Christian Juul Wendell, Head of Communications at the Institut for (X) and project manager at Bureau Detours.

The overall winner was announced at the opening with the second and third prize and there was a second and separate competition for schools and again the winner and second and third prizes were announced.

Fang din by was organised in collaboration with the Copenhagen Photo Festival and the opening coincided with the opening of the Festival.

Today - 8th June - an exhibition of photographs of Copenhagen opened on the square in front of the new Danish Architecture Centre.

This is the annual show of photographs of the city that were taken for an open competition that this year had 2,600 entries. 

Run in coordination with Copenhagen Photo Festival, the theme for this year was ‘my home in the city’ so it complements the first major exhibition from DAC in their new building about housing in Denmark under the title ‘Welcome Home.’

 

winning entries can be seen on the DAC site for Fang din by

the exhibition is on Bryghuspladsen in Copenhagen through until 31 August 2018

This exhibition shows the entries for an open competition that asked for photographs of Copenhagen taken through this summer … snap shots rather than conventional postcard or travel-magazine views … with scenes that reflected the way people live in the city, how and where people meet and how they use the harbour, the streets, squares, buildings, and parks of the city.

A large selection of the photographs submitted have been shown as snaps pasted across one wall while a few have been printed out at a larger size.

There was also a competition for images submitted through Instagram on the three separate themes of The Smile, The Secret and The Meeting.

 

the exhibition continues until 30 November
at the Danish Architecture Centre in Copenhagen
