The Visible White photography prize is seeking for artworks and projects for 2016, for its 5th edition themed “Skin“. 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, aging, torture, submission, multi-sensoriality, self-injury, tattoos, the different contours of sexuality, nanotechnology, implants, disease, contamination and contagion. All these issues in the context of varied geopolitical tensions, economy, sustainability and digital culture (from connectivity to gaming and mobile media). A total of 5,000 Euro are available in prizes, of which 2,500 Euro are reserved for the best project. The best Runner-up Project and Single Work will also be awarded. The two winning projects and the winning single work will be announced on 14 May 2016 at the opening of the Visible White 2016 exhibition, with the final exhibition being held at the FSM Gallery in Florence, Italy, from 14 May to 6 June 2016.
