Experimenta - The Other Photography

Paradigm of modernity, since the first half of the 20th century, photography has become a means through which authors such as Florence Henri, Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, and many others, offer new visions of reality: all this is done by observing, analyzing and asking questions on several levels, such as a scientific, cultural, and social one, regarding objects / subjects, but also regarding the role and the deepest meaning of the photographic act. Thanks to the advent of the digital world,

Open Theme 2022

Juror: Ann Jastrab "When a moment in front of me appears to be particularly special, whether it be by beauty or experience, I capture it. I usually find a reason to justify taking that photo - symmetry, or color or contrast - and it's my hope that my photography sheds light onto what I see and do on a daily basis." Connor Franta Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art of any genre and any subject matter that represents the artist’s endeavor to reveal throug

Our Non-Human Companions

Juror: Fran Forman. Fran Forman says, “We are living in a time fraught with danger – to our democracy and to the global economy. We know that what happens in one part of the world effects other parts (like the old adage that when a butterfly flaps its wings in Africa, the wind is felt across the ocean). Climate change, war, changes in demographics, population movement, and the pandemic can all contribute to a rise of populism and autocracy. As artists, how do we express our anxieties and

Chiaroscuro

Darkness, shadow, and space have the power to communicate as much as light and color, but we can often overlook them in our exploration of the captured image. The essence of a photograph and other figurative artworks is a harmony of brightness, contrast, highlights, and shadows. What can the mind's eye see outside the realm of luminosity and perceive in its absence? What is made evident or alluded to by being concealed? Chiaroscuro is an international juried group exhibition open to
