stillMapp Bucharest 2017
stillMapp Award: Livia Zaharia
Our warmest congratulations go to Livia Zaharia, for submitting one of the best entries in the history of stillMapp, a photo competition that is part of iMapp Bucharest, where anyone can enter with a still image mapped on the façade of the Palace of Parliament.
PICTURE COMPETITION
The stillMapp Bucharest 2017 Picture Competition is organized by creart – the Center for Creation, Art and Tradition of the Municipality of Bucharest, 360 Revolution as the Event Production Company and Maxin10sity as the Art Curator.
The organizers decide that this competition will be held with the aim of promoting the interaction between International and Romanian artists and the local culture, therefore participants can be residents of any country within the European Union.
Theme
Theme equals with the topic of the whole event: ABOVE AND BEYOND
Exploration is the key concept of iMapp 2017.
“To boldly go where no one has gone before.” Above & Beyond.
A visual journey above the horizon, among stars and galaxies or beyond the molecular structure. Or a luxuriant phantasy of jungle vegetation. Maybe a deep dive into the oceanic abyss.
Or all of the above. And beyond any of it!
The visual content can be conceptual or figurative, realistic or symbolic. It can fit a very abstract approach of the artist or it can be a part of a narrative puzzle.
With iMapp Bucharest, we celebrate the artistic and cultural life of our city.
While we believe in the freedom of artistic expression, we do not condone any kind of political statement or social activism and we strongly advise against any offensive content of the shows.
