OPEN CALL ‘FAUNA’
CYNTHIA NUDEL
‘Artificial Nature’
Zoos expose a tension between the natural and the artificial. Animals are confined in environments that contain manufacturated and natural elements controlled by men. Branches, leaves and sand are mixed with the paint from the sceneries. Cement coexists with vegetation. This attempt to recreate wildlife in an urban environment produces a kind of artificial nature that hangs in a no man’s land.
‘FAUNA’ is a new call open to any suggestions on photographic series related to animals. We will be posting the best submissions on Urbanautica and related channels. Deadline is February 18th. One project selected from among those submitted will be published and printed on the 4th issue 4 of “Stand Quarterly” magazine together with the works of Alec Soth, Céline Clanet, Vincent Fournier and Trine Søndergaard. Stand is an advertisement-free photographic journal showcasing the work and thoughts of various contemporary photographers from all areas of the world. Submissions of the series are welcome at info@urbanautica.com or directly on our facebook page. Steve Bisson curator and art director of Urbanautica will also be selecting works for future exhibitions. The selection is made on series (full project). Yet we accept single images to share with our readers here on facebook… Thank you all and best wishes!!!
