XVII International Biennial of Landscape Photography
DEFINICJA PRZESTRZENI / SPACE DEFINITION 2016
Deadline 15.10.2016.
under the patronage of the Association of Polish Art Photographers
and Polish Republic’s Photoclub Association of Authors - patronage nr 166/2016
The 17th International Biennial of Landscape Photography SPACE DEFINITION refers to the tradition of landscape photography of the Kielce School of Landscape and to the former editions of the Polish Landscape Biennial, but – taking into account so rapid transformation of the modern world – encompasses more topics than in the past, including other spaces, besides classic landscape and Nature, where contemporary humans function: urban, industrial, private, personal.
The objective of the Organizers is to integrate those photographers who within their art attempt to define such spaces, and to confront their works at the post-competition exhibition, as well as in the published catalogue. The international dimension of the Biennial is an opportunity to collect works from various parts of the world, and to show its image filtered through individual insights of the artists.
Although the Biennial is almost purely photographic one, we have decided to launch the video art category – for those who express themselves more thoroughly through motion pictures.
Let's create together the panorama of interspersing landscapes of Nature and Culture defining the space of our contemporary reality, the one we live together in!
