Summary/Abstract: The author describes this year’s Photomonth in Krakow (13 May-12 June 2011). She points out the distinctiveness of this edition from those previous, which were, above all, “traditional” photography exhibitions. This time round, the curators decided upon a conceptual approach to the event, asking twenty-two writers to invent biographies of fictional artists, and twenty-three photography artists to execute the fictional works from the texts. This idea not only gave a breath of fresh air to the festival, but also served as a basis for considering issues of post-modern identity, the free movement between creation and authenticity, and the fluid boundaries between staging and reality.
