Forbundet Frie Fotografer warmly welcomes you to the official opening of the Photobook Festival 2026: The Bardo! From 23 to 27 September, the Photobook Festival takes over the ground floor of Oslo Kunstforening. Drawing on the Tibetan concept of "bardo", this year's edition draws parallels between a world in existential limbo and the photobook as a tactile universe with its own internal logic. In an unsettled time where value systems and realities clash, the festival explores how the book format and the exhibition space can be foregrounded as a sphere for contemplation.
