ZAGREB BIENNALE of ULUPUH Photography Section / Vizura 2020 / Time of Extreme was conceived as an exhibition of members and guests of the section who share the same or similar approach to the topic of extremes. An international four-member expert jury, consisting of Laura Moya, Anita Ruso, Feđa Gavrilovic and Drazenka Jalsic Ernecic were chosen and invited to consider extremes in all aspects of recent art photography. A global pandemic was about to happen that brought together art photographers who feature in their works compassion and the presence of humanity, understanding, and social commitment. The online exhibition and publication shall present outstanding works of thirty-one professional art photographers, while the actual exhibition has been postponed for healthier times. Despite the extremes in which they were created, the exhibition of recent photographs explores a particular state of contemporary photography in Croatia, with changes and openings to the international photography scene and an exchange of experiences in professional photography. Extremes as a bit of daily life, new habits of behavior, adjustment to new conditions, closed galleries, and museums, encouraged artists to act in the virtual world. The media impact of photography has united us globally and enabled it to come to the forefront. We are witnessing photographic imaging in a time of extremes.
