Kultur Aktiv calls photographers to participatein the photo symposium „Melodies of a landscape“ which will take place from 27th September till 1st October in Mikulášovice/CZ in the Czech-German Elbe-Labe border region (Czech information below). Participants can be artists and designers of all genres who accept photography as part of their expression, including also ambitioned and experienced amateurs. No limit of age!
Project idea:
The unique border region of the so called Saxon/Czech Switzerland is in the middle of the focus of this „syn-aesthetic“ photographic image of a sound pattern, as melody of a landscape, with all of its parts: hills, forests, rivers, houses, monuments, peculiarities, and people who live there.
The sound, the melody should primarily shape this specific photography. Secondarily – but not obligatory – essays or short statements can be added, linked to the pictures. They can be used in the planned catalogue.
