It’s the 5th time Lomography has been invited to participate in the world’s largest photo-imaging event, so we are going all out in celebration of the unique creative use of film coming from one million+ Lomographers worldwide! The LomoWall forms the focal-piece of our “Future is Analogue†exploration and bursts with over 100,000 amazing film images.
The fantastic LomoWall takes centre-stage in the immtense Lomography Lounge – which will play host to a huge array of analogue talks, events and parties over the next 5 days!
Day One kicked off with the unveiling of the magnificent LomoWall, which as you can see looks a bit like a Wizard of Oz, techni-coloured, LomoBrick Road! Two-thousand Photokina visitors streamed through the Lomography Lounge taking in the luminous LomoWall. There were analogue workshops and speeches galore to the tune of the Dj Team Kompott’s set, plus a special performance showcasing the sweet harmonies of the Vienna Swing Sisters.
For more up-to-the-minute info about Lomography at Photokina 2008, stay tuned to the blog where we will be constantly uploading videos and posting reports on the ‘goings on’.

“Analogue comes from and goes to the soul.†– Richard Wilson Jones, Manchester

“Never heard of Lomography. Modern, different, not expensive. I wouldn’t have thought that Analogue makes such cool pictures!†– Tamara Berbic, Heilbronn
