Skin - Visible White Photo Prize 2016

About

Tactile and visual, skin is a thin and sensitive layer of protection which is the physical and cultural diaphragm between the inside of the body and the outside world. The theme can be approached from different perspectives. Look at skin to reflect on issues of identity, gender, class, ethnicity, race, ecology, politics, and technology, by addressing desire, trauma, ego, torture, submission, multi-sensoriality, self-injury, tattoos, the different contours of sexuality, nanotechnology, implants, disease, contamination and contagion.

2,500 € for the Best Project

1,500 € for the Runner-up Project

1,000 € for the Best Single Work

Deadline is 29 February 2016.
