Theme: COLORFUL DREAMER

People with dreams and ideals innovate themselves and, eventually, manage to change the world. That is presumably because one cannot fulfil a dream alone: one needs to communicate to the world. By presenting the artworks that showcase a wide array of individual dreams, it is our wish to create an opportunity where we can all remind ourselves the meaning of the dream in the age that is often criticised for the absence of true dreams and dreamers. Individuals and collectives are welcome to apply; individuals should select and enter between 8-10 photographs from a particular series or body of work.

28.02.2019: Short Street Stories, Exhibit Around

“We are looking for street photographers to participate with single photos and/or projects/portfolios with a humorous and satirical look at contemporary society. The lesson to be inspired is Martin Parr‘s (or the one of In-PublicUn-posed and Burn My Eye collectives): “anthropological” photography with an ironic slant, able to tell through a new perspective the modern world, social differences and changes in progress. Not surprisingly, Martin Parr will be the main guest of the 2019 edition of Trieste Photo Days and Short Street Stories wants to be a small tribute to the sardonic style of the great British photographer.”
