Open Call: B&W Photographs on the theme of "rest"

Concrete Nature is now accepting submission of Black and White photographs for the third volume of its risograph publication “OUT OF OFFICE”. OUT OF OFFICE is a publication exploring the balance between life and creative work, and the subject of our next volume is REST.

Grind culture is prevalent in the creative industry and oftentimes highly glamourised. The impact of overworking can have serious consequences on ones’ creative practices but more importantly on ones’s physical and mental health. Volume 3 of OUT OF OFFICE aims to step away from grind culture and instead focus on celebrating rest as an integral part of one’s creative practices and wellbeing. What do you do to rest? What does rest mean to you and how do you integrate it within various parts of your professional and personal life? What does rest looks like as a creative? Share with us the self-initiated photographic work you see as an exploration of the subject matter.
