This year, for the first time, ZagrebDox expands its program beyond film to include documentary photography, introducing a selection that brings together seven authors and one collective engaged in long-term, research-driven practices. Conceived as an exploration of the expanded field of documentary photography, the program reflects a diversity of approaches while sharing a common commitment to examining the environments, histories, and power structures that shape contemporary life.
Despite their distinct contexts, all projects share a sustained engagement with the relationship between individuals and larger socio-political frameworks. They reveal how histories — whether personal, industrial, or geopolitical — continue to shape lived realities, often through processes of displacement, transformation, and negotiation. At the same time, several works foreground the environmental consequences of these systems, pointing to the uneven distribution of ecological burden on a global scale. Together, the selection underscores documentary photography’s capacity not only to observe but to question, connecting intimate experiences with broader structures and inviting viewers to reconsider the spaces and systems that define our present.
