VIEWFINDER: 6th scopio Magazine International Photography Contest Crossing borders and shifting boundaries: Territory
6th scopio Magazine International Photography Contest
VIEWFINDER partially publishes all the entries of the scopio Magazine International Photography Contest and also highlighting the winner and the honorable mentions of both the scopio International Photography Contest and the scopio International Photobook Contest, being the honorable mentions’ work published in more detail and the winners’ visual essays
published in full.
The main focus of this issue is the transformation on the public space and aims to question how different dimensions of the public sphere may be meaningfully understood or reframed through different lenses and perspectives. At the heart of this debate is the contemporary discussion that the image of the city is in itself modified with the very process of change according to specific sensorial and cognitive conditions, originating the possibility of establishing new spatial connections in an expanded territory of cosmopolitan interaction.
The call asked for original projects where photography is explored as a significant research instrument for building critical
and innovative views on architecture as an extended field of knowledge that operates within larger systems, with cultural, artistic, technical and historical dimensions. This means exploring the concept over different fields of study and practices with the intent of presenting a broad understanding about these issues, linking them to photographic image, art and architecture
in order to question our cultures’ values and desires and the specific characteristics of places, buildings and how people appropriate and live in these built spaces.
On this contest, the jury awarded the projects “Post Production Life” (Alfonso Batalla, winner),“Ha Aretz [The Promised Land]” (Roger Grasas, honorable mention) and "No Place" (Michele Vittori, honorable mention).
