DMJX Photojournalism presents the group exhibition “Relations” at Copenhagen Photo Festival 2023, Refshaleøen, from June 1st till 11th. The photo festival begins with a free exhibition opening at June 1st from 4 to 7 p.m.
Our nations’ cultures and religions define and shape the lives that we live. Be it through our relationship to each other, to ourselves, to the society or to the nature that surrounds us. Through ten separate stories, the 11 photographers in the exhibition document various human relations and ways of dealing with life.
The stories have been made during a seven-weeks workshop in the spring 2023. The students have researched, worked in field for three weeks and finally written and edited their stories. The workshop has been conducted by journalism teacher Gitte Luk and photojournalism teacher Søren Pagter. The students themselves have designed the final exhibition at Copenhagen Photo Festival 2023 and layouted an exhibition magazine showing the ten stories.

Statement of Principles:
All stories are made within the field of documentary photography. This means that no pictures have been digitally altered, no items have been added or removed in the pictures. The peoples’ stories and the situations are real. The reportage pictures have been photographed as the photographers experienced the situations and no moments have been staged.
The exhibition has been financially supported by Aarhuus Stiftstidendes Fond.
