Shutter Hub has called for submissions under the title of ‘To The Sea’.
We want to share an exhibition that broadly encompasses all of your visions of the sea – be it environmental, actual, or emotional. Take the theme ‘TO THE SEA’ and go wherever the tide takes you. This call is very much open to creative interpretation – run with it, as broadly and as freely as you want to. An ode to the ocean, something for the sea.
We want this exhibition to be a full-on showcase of all things sea! We aim to show as many images as possible, and on the run up to, and during the exhibition, we’ll be sharing selected images on social media and as featured articles on the Shutter Hub website.
The outdoor exhibition site is in the centre of St Gilles Croix de Vie, an area that attracts thousands of visitors day and night throughout the seasons, making the exhibition accessible to all. We’ll be following the same format that we’ve used previously and will be able to exhibit several hundred images. The exhibition will run for a whole year, from October 2023 – October 2024. (exact dates to be confirmed).
I’ve submitted the five photographs below with the following supporting text:
The sea is the place of the perfect horizon, the long straight line pressed between water and sky. It’s the line that lures, yet the line that recedes and can never be reached. Calm or storm, a welcoming pool of azure or a sinister cyanosed maelstrom, the line remains as a firm or smudged transition. Cross the sea, to reach what’s beyond the horizon, is the stuff of legends and stories. The horizon is a promise. The horizon is hope.
