FotoWeek DC Special Events
Washington, D.C. - FotoWeek DC and area museums will team up to create an unprecedented, world premiere digital video slide show. During FotoWeek DC's inaugural week-long photography festival, visitors will be treated to a dazzling display of large scale projections of photographs selected from the collections of some of Washington DC's most honored institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Newseum. These artfully sequenced, multi-story projections will create the largest HD slide show to date and exhibit some of the world's most compelling photographic images ---from landscapes, to portraits; from history to art to science. “This is an opportunity for museums to reach audiences in new ways,” says Merry Foresta, Director of the Smithsonian Photography Initiative, “and present photographic images using exciting, and innovative technologies.” Each projection site will become a focal point for viewers to experience on a grand scale the ephemeral magic that comes when light meets surface. Theo Adamstein, FotoWeek DC founder and board president, says "This is a powerful and unique project where architecture, photography and light combine to create a new medium." FotoWeek DC partner Herring Media Group will transform the city into a nocturnal urban gallery. Calling the format “Heroic Media,” Executive Producer and Designer Marc Herring, says “our concept is to use cinema-scale architectural installations to transform buildings into immersive theaters of light and image.” With the help of Quince Imaging's all-digital production platform the District will engage visitors in a new way.
