The 2018 edition of Blurring the lines was curated by Steve Bisson & Lisanne van Happen.
The call aimed to select and exhibited images that best communicate the expansion of modes of representation through photography. A change that indeed refers to the digitization and the frontiers of post-production, the contamination between different visual languages, the relationship between the availability of technology and new forms of expression. This explosion of the medium combined with an endemic proliferation of pervasive social media encourages us to reflect on the ethical consequences of image making. For this, we seek single images that illustrate the potentiality of the medium without forgetting that photography can separate what is pointless and irrelevant from what is pertinent and poignant.
The exhibition includes 22 projects coming from graduates connected to 17 art academies in 3 different continents of the world.
