MANNHEIM.- For the third time now, from September 5–October 25, 2009 the three cities Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, and Heidelberg are hosting Germany’s most exceptional photo festival.

　　Titled IMAGES RECALLED – BILDER AUF ABRUF, the festival is dedicated to how photographs order and structure our view of the world. While mass media images usually assume or reinforce these patterns, artistic photography challenges the model that has been established by journalism, scientific, and amateur photography.

　　The 3rd Fotofestival will present sixty international artists and photographers, whose works will be exhibited at numerous museums, kunstvereins, and other art venues. IMAGES RECALLED includes works by Horst Ademeit, AES+F, Sammlung Daniel Blau, Cao Fei, Natalie Czech, Reem Da’as, Slawomir Elsner, Heba Farid, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani, Joan Fontcuberta, Aurélien Froment, Anthony Goicolea, Michal Heiman, Thomas Hirschhorn, Juul Hondius, Margret Hoppe, Sanja Ivekovic, Luis Jacob, Nils Klinger, An-My Lê, Jochen Lempert, Ulrike Lienbacher, Renzo Martens, Mirko Martin, Randa Mirza, Ernst Mitzka, Simon Norfolk, Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Peter Piller, Bettina Pousttchi, Bernhard Prinz, Julika Rudelius, Anne Schumann, Ann Shelton, Xaviera Simmons, Sean Snyder, Joel Sternfeld, Clare Strand, Yuk King Tan, Yvonne Todd, Penelope Umbrico, Catrine Val, VVORKS, Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, Zheng Guogu.

　　For this edition the chosen curators are the photography specialist Esther Ruelfs (*1972) and the curator Tobias Berger (*1969)
