Gibellina Photoroad Call For An Open Air Installation 2025

About Gibellina Photoroad

Gibellina Photoroad is Italy's first open-air, site-specific festival, featuring large-format prints, outdoor exhibitions, and installations in Gibellina, a town free from visual and light pollution.

Overview

Gibellina Photoroad / Open Air & Site-specific Festival invites photographers, artists, and curators to apply for an open-air installation. A project will be selected for exhibition at the festival's fifth edition (20 June - 20 August 2025), inclusion in the Permanent Collection of Fondazione Orestiadi, and publication in the festival catalog.

Projects must align with the 2025 theme, Timeless, exploring different concepts of time, as described by philosophers like Henri Bergson. The contemporary image challenges traditional representations of reality, offering new meanings.
