Personal Narrative

Emma Powell, juror

PhotoPlace Gallery   /   Deadline: 10/15/18

Photographic fictional narratives read like fairytales or novellas rather than memoirs – they create a space for the viewer to interpret dreams, symbols, and characters – collective or intimate stories told in metaphors rather than facts. They leave clues rather than solve mysteries. At times, they are constructed by the artist with a specific intention in mind – a staged setting, art directed gazes and gestures, and allegorical metaphors. Other times, the images are found in landscape or through man-made materials that represent universal qualities of personal, human experience. At its best, fictional narratives create curiosity while recounting intimate or imagined stories with unique endings for each viewer.
We'd love to see your photographic narrative. Send us your photographs that tell a story - real or imagined, staged or captured, dreamt or found.
