The International Photoscene Cologne serves to promote artistic photography and exemplifies Cologne as a vibrant photo location. Since its first edition in 1984, as a continuation of the picture shows organized by L. Fritz Gruber to coincide with the photokina trade fair, the participatory festival has established itself in the city and today presents numerous exhibitions on photography and related visual media every year, attracting up to 100,000 visitors.
