CALL FOR SUBMISSION
For the slideshow, Slideluck Prato is welcoming photographic bodies of work and multimedia submissions on the theme MAPPING.
“The map is a representation of a territory with the aim of orientate people through its precise code. In the same way photography aims to represent a phenomenon through a specific language. Mapping as an act intended to the discovering, the exploration and the listing of the fabrics that create the reality.â€
We identified three different fields of research. Identity (the analysis of personal dynamics through an intimate and self-looking insight), Society(the mapping of contemporary social phenomena, with a special focus toward different cultures) and Territory (the documentation of the evolution of places and spaces).
The 20 selected works will be projected during the event and the bests will be awarded with prizes.
