Deadline: 20 January 2025
The Found and Discover Exhibition is open to photographic, video and visual digital works, that present themselves as the result of an expression of research, discovery, valorization, analysis or critique, revealing what all seize from human and natural environmental contexts.
ThemesÂ
- For more than a century, photography has been used as a documentary medium to detect the signs of human passage in the surroundings. The use of photographic, and subsequently even video, media allows the focus of attention to be placed on the single object or trace “discovered”, from which information about human behavior can be captured.
- One of the major changes that occurred during the early years of the twentieth century in the field of aesthetic phenomenology is, as a matter of fact, determined by the introduction of these new means of detection of reality, means that consent us to adopt a new way of grasping from reality the elements that it believe useful in the creation of a discourse.
- Grasping and analyzing also means to extrapolate from a context the objects that interest us, found objects that become compositional elements in a new expression of the self.
- Not only objects, but also places can reveal something that it consider significant for history and science, for collective memory of all and also individual memory.
Eligibility CriteriaÂ
- Photographers, visual designers and video artists are invited to submit 1 up to 3 works addressing the theme.
