Documentation and Expression


The theme of the Daejeon International Photo Festival, which will be held for the first time in 2024, is "Documentation and Expression." 


This year's main exhibition features documentary photographs taken from various times and places, showcasing how each image records and expresses reality in different ways.


This exhibition explores the potential of documentary photography as an art form that goes beyond mere momentary records, granting new meanings while reexamining the artistic value of photography.


"The 2024 Daejeon International Photo Festival offers an opportunity to illuminate the value of documentation through photography and to deeply explore the richness of artistic expression. Through this festival, attendees will discover the diverse stories and messages captured in photographs, gaining new visual experiences and artistic inspiration."

Artistic Director_ Joanne Junga Yang
