FREE ENTRY

The call is aimed to artists, photographers, video makers and visual digital designers, open to any style, genre and subject. invited to submit 1 up to 3 works addressing the theme.

SUBMIT 1 TO 3 WORKS 5mb each max

The theme of our online exhibition – and for which it sees the paper release of its catalog – refers to those indefinite places and contexts, fantastic places in which to get lost, places of escape from reality where freedom is experienced by rediscovering that sense of union and harmonious cohesion with the environment. Places that reveal the personal perception of the world and the authentic emotional experience, where the “self” is transported by osmosis into a timeless and “placeless” space.

Statement Max 80 words: No statement will be published if exceeded

TITLE WORK#1   What Lies Beneath: Community

Media: Photograph

Year of realization: 2024

The image is from my series ‘What Lies Beneath’, which expresses my thoughts on community. Here the ancient woodland landscape provides a visual model of an environment where diverse beings coexist supportively; the perfect antidote to my own often disharmonious local community. This photograph is a portal to a cohesive peaceful community.

What lies here beneath the willing emerald wrapping, accepting their collective realm?

What lies elsewhere beneath man’s disguised demeanour, civil but deliberately divisive?

TITLE WORK#2   What Lies Beneath: Harmony

Media: Photograph

Year of realization: 2024

This is the second image in my series ‘What Lies Beneath’, expressing my thoughts on community. Here the landscape of an ancient woodland creates a visual model of living harmoniously, a contrast to my local human community. Though the environment may initially appear chaotic, on closer sight it shows that freedom of individual parts can also bring strong unity.

What lies here beneath the luminescent selfless sheaths, accepting mutual benefit?

What lies elsewhere beneath undesired need, acknowledged but resented?

TITLE WORK#3   What Lies Beneath: Reciprocity

Media: Photograph

Year of realization: 2024

This is the last in my series of images ‘What Lies Beneath’, expressing my thoughts on community. Here the landscape of an ancient woodland creates a visual model where things adapt empathetically, in contrast to the local human community. This photograph offers an escape to a welcoming environment delighting in the reciprocity that is possible in a community.

What lies here beneath the softest downy dress, sharing nourishment contentedly?

What lies elsewhere beneath community spirit, concealed but festering? 79
