Deadline: 15 May 2024
With summertime approaching, PhMuseum is inviting a Mexican or Mexico-based photographer to join for Portofino Residency Program.
Since 2021, Portofino Dry Gin and PhMuseum have been inviting visual artists to offer their interpretation of the Italian Riviera.
In the past few years, artists-in-residence Alejandro Chaskielberg, Piergiorgio Sorgetti and Martina Giammaria have all contributed with their vision, giving shape to different and personal perspectives of the iconic village of Portofino, Liguria and its surroundings. Solo exhibitions with their residency work have been curated and produced as part of PhMuseum Days International Photography Festival in Bologna and Milan.The selected artist will propose and shoot an editorial project following their own poetics. The work shall be related to the PhMuseum Days 2024’s theme CLOSER, an invitation to open up, share, observe things more carefully, and consider how contamination, partiality, and subjectivity are intrinsic parts of looking at reality.

PhMuseum will take care of the exhibition curation and present a work preview at PhMuseum Days on 12-15 September in Bologna, Italy. The work will be eventually exhibited in Mexico towards the end of the year, thanks to the support of the Mexican distributor Coop Spirits.
