A World Beyond
A juried international photography
exhibition
Call for Artists - Deadline: March 24th, 2015
Photographic images may depict what was in front of the camera at the
time of exposure with a high degree of faithfulness to the visual
properties of the scene. So-called realistic portrayal is, indeed,
important for a number of photographic genres. Photographers, however,
often strive for something different, something that goes beyond mere
photographic documentation; they put the medium to creative use to lead
us to imagine and explore worlds beyond what has actually been recorded
by the camera. Complex psychological and social relations, imaginary
worlds, real and fictive stories, or even abstract contemplations are
all engaging photographic subjects, making photography a uniquely
versatile communicative and artistic medium. It is the imagination of
the photographer that creates rich complexities for our interpretation
which, in turn, take us beyond the visual recognition (or the lack of
thereof) of what is depicted in the picture.
PH21
Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a
group exhibition themed A
World Beyond. We are looking for submissions from
all photographers who are interested in this topic and would like to
share their work with a wider international audience through the
exposure of PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed, and it is
independent of generic or stylistic constraints. Indeed, we are
interested in all possible creative photographic interpretations of the
theme.
This exhibition will be presented in our new Ráday St. gallery space.
One juror’s choice and up to three honourable mentions will be selected
and announced. The juror’s choice receives three free entries for any
upcoming themed group exhibition calls at PH21 Gallery. (Each free
entry includes up to 15 images.) The webpage and the print catalogue of
the exhibition will include a juror’s review; it provides a detailed
review of the juror’s choice, shorter evaluations of the honourable
mentions, and a one-sentence highlight of some of the other photographs
included in the exhibition. (Please visit the pages of our recent
exhibitions for examples.)
