OPEN CALL - PHOTO EXHIBITION

The idea and concept

Nudity is a thing that everyone is interested in but not all of us have courage to explore it. Naked body perception varies from countries, societies and individual visions. We don’t speak about it much but there is a lot more than just a naked body. There are questions of freedom, sexuality, morality, acceptation, self-perception, vulnerability and much more...

Embracing our own nudity could be very transformational as well. One can discover a different side of him/her/themself just undressing in front of the mirror or in front of another people.

We invite you to dig deeper and express your thoughts and feelings about Naked body.

SUBMITIONS

Everyone is invited to submit 1 to 3 artworks that respond to the topic “Naked questions”. You can use photography or mixed media (like photography + collages) or AI. AI works are accepted as long as it’s disclosed.

Important: you pay for printing of your work (35 euro) only in case if your work is selected. In case if two or more works have been selected the artist is free to submit one or all of those works with a payment for each one.

CURATOR

Yana Shpitsberg

@shpitsberg_art

My name is Yana Shpitsberg. In my art photography I am currently exploring Nudity topic myself and I want to invite all of you to join me in this research.

It's not easy to be a photographer of these genre in our days. Instagram blocks our pages or shadows our posts. Not everyone is ready to see the body like an art object. But I believe that's why it's even more important to continue our job!

This project in Rome is my first experience of curating a group exhibition. There is a lot of work behind the scene to make it happen. I am not part of some organisation, I am a photographer and an artist like you. So that's a project created by photographer for photographers (of any level). I am doing it with a lot of love and I hope you will send us your best works.
