OPEN CALL ‘SPORT’
Bogdan Gulyay
‘Kickboxing’
This series is about young guys, that come to the gym every day, starving themselves and sweating their guts out with trainings. They have chosen kickboxing as a way of their physical and spiritual development. They aspire for looking courageously, to be tough and strong. But let`s have an attentive glance: in each of them a little unconcerned boy looks through the mask of the brave fighter.
‘Primapersona’ is a biannual magazine that features unpublished autobiographical texts, whether they are memoirs or autobiographies, diaries or letters that are traces of life written by “ordinary people”. The magazine gives voice to the National Diary Archive of Pieve Santo Stefano in Italy, and moreover, to the general debate on the issues of autobiography.
In each issue, depending on the subject matter, are presented excerpts from these texts, from all periods of our recent history and from all regions of Italy. Their responses act as in an indirect dialogue with the study and theoretical reflections of those who, anthropologist or historian, sociologist and linguist, philosopher and writer, are convinced that writing is a gesture of inquiry. (to understand something more of ourselves).
Photography has an important role in this magazine. In each article, words torn from the diaries and autobiographical memories are accompanied by images in black and white. Photographs are carefully selected to dialogue with rather than interpret these words.
Urbanautica will take part in this new issue dedicated to Sports by suggesting a series of photographic projects that will be collected through an open call. In addition our editorial manager Steve Bisson will write a specific essay.
Submission have to bent sent to info@urbanautica.com. Deadline for submission March 4, 2013.
