The Vienna meeting end of April confirmed a close collaboration of five cities (Berlin, Budapest, Bratislava, Luxembourg, Paris and Vienna ) on the common project “The body in contemporary European photography”. The subject was discussed in depth within the five curators and a list of about 40 artists/photographers was kept to be part of the book project and exhibitions in Budapest and Bratislava ( autumn 2018), Vienna and Luxembourg ( spring 2019). Paris is said to schedule the next festival only in 2020 due delays in setting up the new organisational structure after Jean-Luc Monterosso, founder of the festival, retired this year as director of the Maison européenne de la photographie.
