Call for Photography

In moments when reality feels shaped by political threats, abstraction becomes more than a visual choice. It becomes a way of seeing, sensing, and surviving.

Abstract Visions invites photographers working with abstraction as a method of engaging with the world — emotionally, politically, and intuitively. We are interested in work that communicates through atmosphere, rhythm, colour, and form.

Abstract Visions welcomes photographic projects that build their meaning in sequences, contrast, and repetition. Colour may function as emotional structure. Form may carry tension. 

In an unpredictable world, abstraction can become a way of creating a self-contained visual world where complexity is allowed to exist without explanation.

Open call for photographers under 30 | Applications open until February 1, 2026

Are you between 18 and 30 years old, and is photography your passion? Participate in the open call by Le Stanze della Fotografia Foundation!

Participation in the open call is completely free and open to everyone, whether professionals or photography enthusiasts. Participants are required to produce three photographs that tell a story inspired by the figure of Horst. P. Horst and the themes of the exhibition project. The works should create a narrative starting from the following quote by Horst P. Horst:

“Fashion is an expression of the times. Elegance is something else.”
