Open Call | Exhibition in China - Urban Landscape

Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) is happy to announce a group exhibition open call “Urban Landscape".

This exhibition open call for submissions aims to explore and present the diversity and complexity of modern urban environments through the unique perspective of photography. We invite artists to focus on the multiple facets of urban spaces, including their form, structure, and transformation, capturing a range of scenes from bustling streets to quiet corners, and from modern architecture to historical landmarks. Through these works, we seek to showcase the physical characteristics of urban environments while delving into how human activity shapes these spaces, reflecting societal changes, cultural diversity, and the interplay of individual emotions.

Photographers are encouraged to capture seemingly ordinary urban moments, conveying a visual language filled with tension and rhythm. These images will invite the audience to reexamine the everyday elements of the city, uncovering the subtle emotions and meanings often overlooked in the details and imagery. In doing so, artists will not only showcase the external forms of urban landscapes but also reveal the dynamic relationship between humans and the city through photographic language, reflecting the cultural depth and continuous transformation of urban life.

This exhibition aims to provoke deep reflection on urban environments, presenting not only their physical transformations but also exploring the underlying social, cultural, and emotional layers. Through these visual works, we hope to uncover the subtle connection between humanity and the urban landscape, examining the multiple dimensions of the city as a microcosm of society and culture.
