fotografisk

Fotografisk is a Nordic term meaning “photographic” and is used in several languages to describe things related to photography. As a proper noun, it is also the name of a Copenhagen-based photography venue and cultural organization that presents contemporary and historical photography through rotating exhibitions, talks, and education programs. The organization aims to broaden public engagement with photography, featuring both international and Danish photographers, along with publications, artist talks, and community events. The venue typically includes gallery spaces as well as ancillary facilities such as a cafe and a shop, serving photographers, collectors, students, and visitors.

Fotografisk is distinct from Fotografiska, the well-known photography museum based in Stockholm, which operates its own network of venues. While both share a focus on photography and a Nordic context, they are separate entities with independent governance and programming. In broader Nordic usage, the adjective Fotografisk remains in regular use to describe photographic works, practices, or publications without implying affiliation to a specific organization.
