Photographic work features
candidates can submit a free theme photo (portraits, landscapes, abstract images, etc.) although it’s represented the idea of “wait” “waiting for”.
Concept
Waiting is often associated with passivity: letting time flow and being overwhelmed by apathy waiting for something. The word "wait", however, meaning "to stretch out, to aspire, to
aim" towards something: expectation implies tension, movement, living and not letting oneself live. We would like to invite you to a rediscovered vision of time, in which the necessary moment of waiting
becomes a precious resource to be fully exploited. The wine gives us important testimony: it dictates times and we, eager to taste it, have learned to consume that expectation with joy and conviviality,
preparing ourselves for the right moment that nature imposes. This is the declination we want to give to the time of waiting: a necessary and fruitful preparation.
Technical requirements
1. The Photo should be saved as a .jpg file and it should be max 3MB (in case of selection you will be asked for a high-resolution photo file - 300 dpi, suitable for printing in exhibitions).
2. The file must be renamed as follows: SURNAME_NAME_WORKTITLE (es. White_James_TheTime.jpeg).
