Paradox is based in Edam (20 kilometres north of Amsterdam). This non-profit organisation develops multidisciplinary projects about contemporary topics, with documentary authors: photographers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers and researchers. Within these projects Paradox experiments explicitly with multimedia forms of presentation, and the interaction between different disciplines (photography, film, audio, writing) as well as platforms (exhibitions, websites, books, DVDs and educational programmes).

Paradox was founded by Bas Vroege in 1993. It produces travelling exhibitions, organises symposia and publishes audiovisual, digital and printed publications.
