PRISMA 7 - Urteil der Jury

CALL FOR ARTISTS

Photography can be much more than just documentation. Das wussten schon immer zahlreiche Künstler, die sich einer Praxis verschrieben haben, der lange Zeit mit Vorurteilen begegnet wurde, Unterschätzung, oder Herablassung. Aber heute, Fotografie (Insbesondere wird die Fotografie als Vorschlag mit unbestreitbaren ästhetischen und konzeptionellen Werten verstanden) gilt als eine der Säulen der bildenden Kunst. Und es ist eine der Erscheinungsformen, die am deutlichsten Brücken zu den noch unzureichend erforschten Potenzialen neuer Technologien schlägt.

In our call for entries to a new edition of the Prisma contest, we aim to promote formal searches in photography through technological intervention. Altered photography (modified, recreated, transformed) by any digital means. The theme, medium, and implications will be free… the essential freedom of art that goes beyond its means to establish itself in truth.

Cuban photographers residing in Cuba, lens artists, we invite you to our call:
LUMEN: MANIPULATED PHOTOGRAPHY.

JURY VERDICT

The jury of the seventh edition of the Prisma contest, dedicated to digitally manipulated photography under the title LUMEN, after evaluating the proposals of the 51 participating artists, decided to select 12 finalist works from the following authors:

Frank Baltonado, Leo de la O and Lídise Domínguez, Anyel Díaz, Nadia Diaz, Natasha Forcade, Reinier Garcés, Gabriela Lopez, Kevin Oramas, Claudia Padron, Dave aus Peru, Mai Reguera, and Lissette Solórzano.

The selection is highlighted for its stylistic and formal variety, the creative use of technologies, and aesthetic values.

These artists will be invited to join a group exhibition at ArteMorfosis‘ Havana location and on the virtual sites of the platform.

Among the finalists, the unique prize of the contest was unanimously awarded to Dave Perurena, for the forcefulness of the concept and its plastic realization. Zusätzlich, the contestant’s skill in presenting their piece on the social network Instagram is acknowledged.

We thank all contestants for their participation.

The jury was composed of artists Laura Llópiz, Antonio Margolles, and Ricardo G. Elia.
