2023 PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION – WINNERS, FINALISTS, AND JUDGES
AWARD LISTINGS
2023 PHOTOGRAPHY WINNER
FIRST PLACE: Embodied (Andrea Anderson Gluckman, US)
FINALISTS & WINNERS SUBMISSIONS
EMBODIED
(2023)
Photographer: Andrea Anderson Gluckman (US)
Nothing is more politicized than the human body, particularly the social need to categorize, to identify, to label. External and internal ideas of identity are not always the same, and the dissonance created is borne by the individual.
POLTIGLIA (PAPER-MEN)
(2023)
Photographer: Luca Giuliani (Italy)
The photographer states: “Life is a blender that slices your soul, make it mush. Love is the enzyme that makes it more digestible. And, like ink on paper-men, it remains. A story already written, only to be lived.”
