OPEN CALL 2014
In recent years we have seen a rise of self-published
photobooks. This consolidates and confirms a new
form of creation, an expression closely related to
emerging contemporary photography. For this reason,
and for the second consecutive year, SCAN
Tarragona Festival wants to highlight the quality of
these self-published photobooks, not only as a means
of expression, but also as a new way of presentation of
the work.
For this reason, we are announcing a call for
submission of publications. With all entries received,
the artistic direction of SCAN Tarragona 2014 will do a
selection, that will hold an exhibition from 16th
October to 21st December in Space Tabacalera in
Tarragona, together with the exhibition Latent Talent.
