We are excited to announce that our 5th online group exhibition, Exploration of the Unexpected is sponsored by Analogue Wonderland! With their support, we will be giving away a grab bag of niche 35mm film to the winner of this online exhibition!
To enter, all you need to do is read and respond to the following prompt with your analog photography:
The word "Sonder" is defined as "the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed in the street, have a life as complex as one's own...". It's not often that individual's have this moment of zen commuting to work. I would however argue that as photographers, we not only capture other people's lives on film, we also spend a brief and fleeting moment of time occupying that space between observer and participant in our subjects lives, even if they are only minutely aware of us. Though it would be great speculation I venture to say that through this process we have on occasion helped induce that profound feeling of sonder in another.
For this exhibition we are exploring the unexpected moments that induce this feeling of sonder via street photography. We invite you to submit two analog created images that give the viewer a glimpse into the lives of another ranging from your local neighborhood to a foreign place where the only barrier is language. The photographs submitted should transport our viewers from being a casual observer to an intimate participate in your subject's life. The only limiting factor to this group exhibition is that is must consist of candid or street photography. There is no restriction on film, format, or process.
The best of these images will be showcased in an online show curated by Julia Dean, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Center of Photography, and will go live on our website February 18th, 2019! Please follow the directions below to complete your submission. Good luck!
The deadline for submissions is January 31st, 2019.
