Through The Body: Images of the human body using Alternative Photographic Techniques
This is a call for photographic imagery that focuses on the human body as depicted in hand-made prints using alternative photographic processes. Public or private spaces, full-body or partial bodies, nude or clothed, self-images or of others... male, female, non-binary, emotional, intellectual, confrontational, questioning, spiritual, sexual, sensual... All forms of exploration are welcome including images that examine subjects such as identity, intimacy, love, sexuality, gaze, social and cultural structure, beauty, ritual, and voyeurism.
All entries must be hand-made prints made with alternative photographic processes and created in the last 4 years. All prints must be hand-printed by the artist.
Acceptable processes include, but are not limited to, Cyanotype, Gum Bichromate, Van Dyke, Palladium/Platinum, Photopolymer Gravure, Copper Plate Gravure, Salt, Tintype, Silver Gelatin, Chemigrams, Phytograms, Lumens, Chromogenic prints, Hand-applied emulsions, Photo-encaustic, Carbon, Gumoil, Instant transfers and lifts, and Hand-manipulated (altered surface) digital prints. Combinations of these processes are welcome. Digital photographic images can be used in combination with other processes, but straight digital prints will not be accepted. 3D and experimental work is encouraged.
Light Art Space invites LBGTQ, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and self-identifying artists of color - historically under-represented artists working in the visual arts – to submit.
