Photoforum is delighted to once again host the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography (3.5 – 25.5.2025) in our spaces at Pasquart. The festival’s 28th edition, Horizons, explores how landscapes are perceived, used, and represented.

Whether urban, forested, or industrial, landscapes are not just physical spaces but cultural and emotional constructs. They are described, mapped, photographed, and interpreted. This year’s edition of the festival presents new perspectives on landscapes and their depiction.
