Plus, as an applicant you can claim your free daily pass to attend the festival. Each of the selected photographers will receive a production budget up to €2,000+VAT, plus an artist fee and a contribution to cover travel expenses and attend the inaugural weekend on 21-24 September 2023. Plus, as an applicant you can claim your free daily pass to attend the festival.
The chosen theme is I Don't Know How To Respond To That, the answer that virtual assistants like Apple Siri give you when they can't find a solution to your questions. The aim is to understand our times, the dialogue between humans and machine, the development of language in a broad sense, those issue we still have not find a solution to. Through the works on display we will try to explore how our relationship with technology and our conditions as human beings evolve in a world characterized by continuous innovations.
You are invited to present your visual projects to share your interpretation of this year's theme. All approaches are welcome, you can also insert links to videos or installation shots in your applications.
We look forward to reviewing your applications and to welcoming you to Bologna in September.
