PhotoBiennale / 22nd International Photography Meeting will be organized by the Museum of Photography Thessaloniki in two periods (Part A’: May-July 2012, Part B’: September-December 2012); the third part of a thematic trilogy, this year’s main topic will be “Logos”, following  “Time”(Chronos- 2008) and “Place (Topos- 2010).

This year the topic is Logos which derives from the Greek word logos meaning words and at the same time encompassing the meaning of logic.
In this PhotoBiennale we aim at creating a platform where the following among others will be explored:
- The relationship of words to the image (either in photo-texts or in other forms).
- The underlying logic that images have, and how this is insinuated or depicted.
- Images whose significance shifts more to their conceptual than to their formal qualities.
- The role of the image in forming the structure of contemporary Logos in society.

Concerning the topic of the Parallel Program of the PhotoBiennale, this year it will be entitled “Southeastern Europe-Thessaloniki”, as part of the program “Thessaloniki-Cultural Crossroads” initiated by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism and as part of the celebrations for the centenary anniversary of the liberation of Thessaloniki.
