The Triennial of Photography Hamburg is an internationally renowned photo festival that takes place every three years in collaboration with major museums, exhibition spaces, and cultural institutions. Initiated in 1999 by collector and photographer F.C. Gundlach, the photo festival has evolved over the years to become one of the most significant photography events in Germany, enjoying international acclaim. Under a common theme, conceptualized by varying artistic leadership, numerous photo exhibitions shed light on highly relevant photographic themes and trends.
The Triennial of Photography is accompanied by an international, interdisciplinary symposium that includes artist talks, specialized discussions, lectures, portfolio reviews, and an international conference in the lead-up to and during the festival period.
The central theme of the 8th Triennial of Photography Hamburg in 2022 was "Currency" – an invitation into the contemporary impact of photography, its ability to extend meaning across distances and fostering connections in the retinal era.
Under the motto "Breaking Point," the 7th Triennial of Photography Hamburg in 2018 addressed the ecological, social, cultural, economic, and technological changes that the world is facing in the era of the Anthropocene.
The Triennial of Photography Hamburg is organized in support of the Ministry of Culture and Media Hamburg.
