Compete PH21 Gallery CFE: Silence
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: November 11, 2024 – PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for our group exhibition themed Silence.
Silence is always juxtaposed against its opposites: sound, noise, and loudness. It is strongly associated with loneliness, alienation, the unknown and disturbing landscape on the one hand, and known tranquillity and peace on the other. Photographically, the contrast between deep darkness and dazzling light is also crucial. After natural or social catastrophes, everything falls silent: empty cities, villages, abandoned public transport and empty workplaces serve as reminders of the transience and fragility of humankind. Silence is accompanied by quiet activities such as contemplation and meditation, which negate the very nature of action itself. Additionally, silence is often present in still lifes, cityscapes, portraits, and many other photographic genres.
Exhibition dates: January 11 – February 4, 2025.
ELIGIBILITY
All photographers 18 years or older worldwide may enter the competition by submitting their own, original work. We welcome submissions from all photographers interested in sharing their experiences of silence with a broader international audience through exposure at PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed without any photographic genre restrictions. We are interested in all possible creative photographic interpretations of the theme.
