Radu Mureșan develops image-based work around archive politics, disappearance and the unstable relation between memory and public evidence. His installations frequently combine documentary fragments, re-photographed material and essayistic sequencing, creating slow visual environments where testimony remains suspended rather than resolved.

Claire Dubois works with documentary cinema, diaristic fragments and architectural silence. Her films often observe how bodies move through urban fatigue, producing a language that is intimate, restrained and radically attentive to atmosphere. Her work expands the festival’s image culture beyond still photography while remaining close to the ethics of Witness.

Mihai Pop’s curatorial work focuses on the social life of images, institutional narration and the politics of display. His research often brings together photography, public discourse and pedagogical formats, making him one of the figures who shape the reflective layer of the festival.

Ana Koller works across moving image, installation and hybrid photographic surfaces. Her practice explores intimacy, ritual and the unstable borders between document and fiction, adding a more tactile and affective layer to the exhibition ecology of this edition.

Ioana Bădescu develops educational frameworks around image literacy, collaborative looking and public participation. Her contribution to the festival helps extend the edition beyond viewing into shared interpretation and collective learning.
