European Photography is an independent art magazine for international contemporary photography, new media and artificial intelligence. Founded in 1980 by German artist Andreas Müller-Pohle, it is considered one of the most influential and pioneering publications in the field, reflecting and shaping the major shifts in contemporary photography – from the renaissance of independent photography in the 1980s, through the digital revolution of the 1990s, to the current upheavals in artificial intelligence – in both theory and practice. Exquisitely designed and printed, European Photography is published twice a year in English and German, with a premium readership of creative professionals and institutions worldwide. As photo art historian, critic, and publisher Jens Friis puts it, “The art magazine that has set a standard in publishing”. 

Borders – Places – Transitions: European Photography 119 examines the reality of global borders through the work of Kirsten Luce, Park Jongwoo, Lucas Foglia, Ebrahim Alipoor, Ohad Matalon, and Valerio Vincenzo. The selection is accompanied by a conversation with photojournalist Ken Light and an extensive focus on art residency strategies, featuring a global guide and residency projects by five international artists. Also in this issue: a legal analysis of AI and copyright, portfolios by Amy Karle and Markus Lehr showcasing the transitory nature of AI, reviews of new titles by Alexey Yurenev, Zed Nelson, Sally Mann, and others, and our Editor’s Pick.
