Agentur Schwimmer, Germany.

Resume
The Schwimmer photographic agency, launched in autumn 2013, is currently being developed. It will show and it will distribute works by visual artists in the field of photojournalism, promoting a simple approach in a complex world: what is there behind the façades?  What makes our daily reality working?
Founded and edited by Sven Eggers, Sibylle Hofter and Malgorzata Plywacka; the agency has local redactions at Berlin, Sofia, and Shanghai (from May 6th). This autumn will open a new one at Heilbronn in cooperation with a local newspaper.

Concept
City Desk Sofia is an Agentur Schwimmer project which aims to create a collaborative portrait of Sofia’s society and its inner workings without atomizing topics through “objectivity” but backing them with the official evidence: the hard facts which determine the volatility of the private (or group) activities.
This objective is achieved through the work of photographers (professionals or not) who are interested in the subject and aim to develop the image as a freestanding piece but also to give it a place in a larger flux or dialogue of images; developing visual languages which are beyond our daily experience.
Our contemporary reality is over-fed by trillions of data-records usually named "images". But what are those images? Along the cleavages of the genres, the photographic image is currently decomposed to certain schemes according-to and simultaneously-with specific image economies. Even photo-art tends to decrease in schemes and formal discussion in order to withdraw from core involvement with the subjects shown. Thus, the project’s approach is the unrestrained enthusiasm to get to know more about the community’s mechanics: to uncover the supply chains of society.
