Open call for Nida. Meeting photography
NIDA. Meeting Photogaphy is pleased to launch an open call for lens based works for a curated evening of projections in Nida, Lithuania.
The topic of this open call is NEW BORDERS.
Please send your work via PICTER platform till 31st of July. Submission price – 15 eur.
We invite artists and photographers of any age, nationality and geographic location to submit lens based works in a form of photographic series or short videos (up to 10 min) exploring the theme NEW BORDERS. How the world changed in time of quarantine and how concept of “border” became different and possibly broader. Is BORDER always just a physical? Can BORDER be a mental state? For a long time we were encouraged to avoid public places. Can BORDERS be extended into a virtual space were you socialize and live more actively? Did our BORDERS changed over this time of isolation? How the present situation in the world will mark future of photographic storytelling and how different will we read pictures in the future?
We are looking for broad and innovative interpretations of NEW BORDERS topic, whether it’s speculations on the future of the planet or humanity, a close look into utopia/dystopia, future of the photographic image or technology. Yet it’s not only the content of submitted work that should reflect the theme, but also its execution: we are interested in seeing works that exist in between photography and other mediums, disciplines and sciences.
We welcome analogue and digital experiments, collage works, videos, augmented photography, simulations and anything that may fall into the broad category of lens based media.
Selected works will be screened during International Photography Symposium NIDA. Meting Photogaphy in Lithuania in September. The symposium is now in its 44th year and has grown to attract local and international artists, photographers, lecturers, historians and critics to a special location on Curonian Spit on the Baltic Sea.
This is a great opportunity to share your work with an international audience of photographers, artists, curators, critics and gallery representatives in a unique setting of pine forests and sand dunes.
