Soft Assembly

Oblong, Copenhagen.
12.09–18.10 2025

Curated by Josephine Fity & Jonathan Lieb

Soft Assembly is an ambitious, celebratory exhibition that repositions photography at the centre of contemporary art discourse. It is a celebration of photography’s plurality and a reminder of the power of collective visual storytelling.

The salon-style format honours photography’s democratic potential: to compress, contradict, and coalesce divergent viewpoints. Through its collaborative, non-hierarchical installation, the exhibition invites new ways of looking—not only at images, but at photography itself as a vital, urgent, and profoundly artistic practice full of friction.
