/con-fi-ne/ THE-BOR-DER/ a theme open to immense spaces of creativity
Confine/Border, a theme open to immense spaces of creativity. The border protects, limits, forces to stay in a place or urges to go further, the boundary of understanding, a limitation, a handicap, a diversity.
The theme Confine / Border is a incitement to encourage authors to develop cultural
expressions that reflect the social / cultural facets of their world.
Prize for Contemporary Photography 2nd Edition 2019, open to the participation of works in photography, published and not published by artists from all over the world.
Photography is the ideal tool for expressing oneself creatively on issues concerning personal, social and present issues.
Is it possible to live in a world without borders? Is it desirable? Is not our uniqueness dictated precisely by the presence of a boundary between "I am me" and "you are the other”?
Is it not precisely in this borderland that the process of knowledge of the self and of the other takes place?
Which force manages to thin the boundary line until it becomes crossable?
Love? Determination? Curiosity? Life itself?
What happens to the human soul when it crosses the boundary of reason, of decency, of endurance, of everything that we considered impossible?
What is the boundary between imagination and image?
Is art a border to be overcome or a goal to reach?

organization
AD GALLERY / project
AD Gallery's idea is to move works from the on-line gallery to various locations, even in private spaces, which can also be the same houses of the artists or unusual environments: laboratories, empty spaces, abandoned premises.
