Do you remember UFO Visual Lab project by Fresh From Poland, which was displayed during the 15th edition of Krakow Photomonth? Good news – it wasn’t the last chance to see the exhibition! From 22 October, the project will be shown at the Noorderlicht Photofestival 2017 in Groningen. The project is curated by Grażyna Siedlecka. Congratulations!
Are we alone or are we being watched? Is there a god, do we live in a matrix or are we simply the outcome of an alien experiment? Especially since the Roswell incident in 1947, when the American army is alleged to have secured a crashed UFO containing alien life, the idea of flying saucers and aliens fires our imagination. Fresh From Poland called on artists via social media to submit their visual image of UFOs, as one of the shared projects within its larger UFO Visual Lab project. On the basis of the submissions, #SHOWMEYOURUFO researches how the image of alien life and UFOs has formed in our consciousness over the past 75 years, and how the myth of the UFO has evolved.
