FFF is closed until including January 29, 2026 due to installation of the upcoming show of JESSICA BACKHAUS. SHADOWS MIGHT DANCE. Opening: Friday, January 30, 2026, 7 pm.
Form, colour, and light are the defining elements of the visual cosmos of the internationally acclaimed photographer Jessica Backhaus. This comprehensive exhibition brings together works from the past twenty-five years, offering an exceptional insight into Backhaus’s artistic evolution.
Spanning her early documentary practice, the gradual shift toward abstraction, and culminating in her latest series, “Papyrus,” presented here for the first time, the selection traces the breadth and nuance of her œuvre. read more

THROWBACK
FFF JUNIOR 2025
How is an image created? What stories can be told through light and shadow — and how does the camera change the way we see? These were some of the questions explored by children and young people in the three FFF Junior Workshops of 2025. Whether on photo safaris, through cyanotype printing, building pinhole cameras, or experimenting with unusual perspectives, the participants discovered the world of photography in many different ways and developed their own series of images. The results were presented in exhibitions at their respective institutions and documented in a joint magazine. read more
