Capture Your City 2015: Photo exhibition with 1,000+ views of city life
Exhibition
Oct 7 - Nov 30, 2015
Capture Your City 2015 in 2015 presented 1,000+ personal photos of city life from summer 2015, collected through a photo competition and Instagram challenges with Canon, Politiken and DAC.
The lives we live in our cities are shaped by the places, people and experiences we encounter. The places where we go every day, that make us feel at home. The people we meet, who become our neighbors and friends – or just memorable passers-by, reminding us of the various possible ways to live our lives. And the many impressions and experiences the city gives us when it is turned upside-down during thunderstorms, street parties, events and demonstrations.
In a photo competition and 3 instagram-challenges, conducted by Canon, Politiken and DAC, we called on everyone with a camera to show us The Smile, The Secret and The Meeting of their city. The results were on display in this exhibition, becoming a memory of the summer of 2015. And if you participated in the competition, you could go searching for your very own photo in the cascade of personal snapshots that made up the exhibition.
