Publication Blurring the Lines 2020 available

Blurring the Lines aims to promote student’s thesis research work, to get international recognition, and contribute to an inter-academic dialogue. The selected images over the past four years show a different expansion of modes of representation through photography. A change that indeed refers to the digitisation and the frontiers of post-production, the contamination between different visual languages, the relationship between the availability of technology and new forms of expression. Thank you to all schools, teachers and graduates for making it happen!

The 2020 call theme is “Commitment” as the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc., or an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action. The question of photography’s commitment to real-world issues and its relationship provides significant directives for promoting a social engagement from photographers, changing the photographic tool. The three winners Ragna Arndt-Maric, Riti Sengupta, and Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo, due to corona could unfortunately not be exhibited at Espace F15 in Paris as usual.
