The Riga Photography Biennale 2024 exhibition “Create/show another world! Photomontage in the Latvian press in the interwar period” focuses on the history of the image at the National Library of Latvia, where for the first time photographic samples from the 20th century will be exhibited. 20-30 Latvian press editions of the year, the “Delfi” portal is informed by the organizers of the exhibition. Its opening will take place on May 10 at 17.00
The curator of the exhibition, Irēna Bužinska, has included part of the work of Zina Ares, Jānis Baltiņš, Robert Briež, Reichold Kasparsons, Eduards Kraucs and Robert Alexander Riedel in the exposition. For obvious reasons, the originals of the photomontages have not been preserved, so copies of them from the publications “Rīts”, “Brīvā Zeme”, “Atputūsa”, “Mūsu Mājas Viesis”, “Pasaules Pats”, “Film u Skatuve”, “Malienas Zinas” have been used. All copies of these publications can be found in the collection of the National Library of Latvia.
