Winner
Vietnam Funny Children © Siarhei Mikhaliuk
The works are united by the project: Fluxism. Traces of Evolution.
An exhibition project dedicated to fine art photography — an exploration of the human being and their perception: a journey from observing others to investigating one's own consciousness.
For over 30 years, Siarhei Mikhaliuk traveled across countries, studying traditions and cultures in search of the primordial and the sacred in human existence. What lies behind every movement, gesture, and gaze? This question drove his research, guiding not only his sight into the world but also his feeling heart.
As a professional choreographer, Mikhaliuk understood that a body filled with sensation is capable of unlocking the potential of the mind, which is why he often wore a black blindfold while dancing.
In the spring of 2025, while photographing on the street, he closed his eyes to focus on his own movements and bodily state. The camera in his hands, set to a long exposure, became a relay of bodily impulses — capturing not external portraits but traces of his psychophysical state and holistic perception.
Thus fluxism in photography was born — a method that opens creative possibilities for people with visual impairments and offers a timely response to the age of artificial intelligence. The value of fluxism lies in the unique imprint of light: the inimitable trace of the author's presence.
The light within us.
