ROTTERDAM PHOTO 2022 XL – ARCHIVE

THEME / PLANET HUMAN X HUMAN BLUEPRINT

The edition 2022 was unique for the Rotterdam Photo. Due to several postponements and cancellations related to COVID-19 spread, for the first time, the festival has two themes at the same time – PLANET HUMAN X THE HUMAN BLUEPRINT.

Under the umbrella of these two themes, more than 100 photographers from all over the globe exhibited their projects on May 22′. All photographers from Rotterdam Photo 2021 edition ( PLANET HUMAN theme) and photographers from Rotterdam Photo 2022 edition (THE HUMAN BLUEPRINT theme) became part of the new Rotterdam Photo 2022 XL edition.

Following 2021 year’s topic PLANET HUMAN, we continued to ask the same questions: Who are we, as human beings, besides the fact that we exist? What do we leave behind? How do we express ourselves? What is the role of our imperfections, the dark parts of our collective existence? Do they make us human?

Today, more than ever, the notion of being human is undergoing evolution. And this year, we invited professional and amateur photographers to join us and think about THE HUMAN BLUEPRINT that we, humans, leave after us.
