EYEdentity Photo Competition Call for Submissions
Submit 3 photographs, which investigates your individual notion of identity in South Africa and stand a chance to win R6,000 cash and have your photographs displayed at the offices of the Tierney Family Foundation in New York.
The Market Photo Workshop in partnership with the Tierney Family Foundation is hosting a photography competition. Applicants should explore and investigate, through 3 photographs, their personal notion of identity in South Africa.
EYEdentity
Identity unfolds and transforms between a subject and an object and in relation and dialogue with the change of time and space. Therefore revealing how things are same and different at once. The act of framing creates space for identification with the subject. It is there, between the photographer and the subject where identity is susceptible to reveal itself. Thus with the concept of EYEdentity we are looking at photographers to consider the role of the EYE in relation to identity. This interaction begins the dialogue between our individual interactions with the reality around us in both the current and projected socio political climate in South Africa.
