Bownik (born 1977) is a visual artist. His large-format photographs deal with youths, reconstruction of values and the impact of technology on everyday life. Visual conventions taken from the cinema, police archives and classic paintings make up the map over which the artist traverses. Bownik is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Pozna?. His works are in collections at the Huis Marseille Museum for Photography in Amsterdam, the National Library in Warsaw, the ING Polish Art Foundation and in private collections. Bownik was nominated for the 2014 Paszporty Polityki award. He is the author of the photo book Disassembly (the main prize in the Photographic Publication of the Year in 2014, and nominated for the Photobook Award Kassel 2014). Bownik lives and works in Warsaw.

Christopher Anderson first gained recognition for his pictures in 1999 when he boarded a handmade, wooden boat with Haitian refugees trying to sail to America. The boat, named the Believe In God, sank in the Caribbean. In 2000 the images from that journey would receive the Robert Capa Gold Medal. A full member of the world-renowned Magnum agency since 2010, Anderson is active as a documentary photographer while also making very personal work. His entire oeuvre can be considered as one: his journalism is as personal as his autonomous photography, always attempting to show the humanity behind the headlines. What often makes him stand out is the use of particular, soft-toned colours that result in the surprisingly stark presence of the people and objects depicted.

Mona Kuhn is best known for her large-scale photographs of the human form. Her approach is unusual in that she develops close relationships with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable intimacy, and creating the effect of people naked but comfortable in their own skin. In addition, Kuhn's playful combination of visual strategies such as translucency explores our connectedness with the environment. A sublime sense of comfort and intelligence permeates her works, showing the human body in its most natural state while simultaneously re-envisioning the nude as a contemporary canon of art.
