Bravo Ayrton!
So this is a suggestion for the next event theme:
Waste land panoramas.
A significant exhibition on this theme was held in 1992 for the "Fotografie Biennale
Rotterdam III", with the title "Wasteland/Landscape from now on photography"
Some of the participants were: Louis Baltz, Gabriele Basilico, John Davies,
all well known landscape photographers.
This does not mean to take photos only in slums,
but to pay attention on all those areas that are not "well" used,
that are abandoned, or contaminated, definitely "wasted".
I think it's a theme a little bit different from usual,
but can be a stimulus for creativity, and to discover
and pay attention to places maybe very near to our houses,
but where "beauty" is not the center of the meaning.
Well this is just an idea...we can go deeper or around...
Ciao
