THEME

“THE ENDLESS PERSPECTIVE OF VISION”
In an era where images dominate communication and technology has transformed the way we perceive, our vision is no longer free. It is conditioned by screens, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. These forces create a reality that isn’t always an unmediated reflection of truth, but rather a selectively curated, manipulated, or fragmented version of it. In this context, documentary photography is often seen as a means of preserving a direct connection to reality. But is that really the case?
"The endless perspective of vision" challenges us to explore and transcend these limitations, urging us to look beyond what is readily handed to us or assumed as self-evident. This call invites photographers to reconsider vision not as a passive act of seeing, but as a complex interplay between the subject, technology, and personal interpretation. Where do the limits of our perception actually begin and end?

Within this framework, photography becomes not only a tool for documenting reality but also a means to reexamine it, to push beyond the confines of what is visible, and to reveal that which lies outside the conventional frame of perception.
is an invitation to question, explore, and challenge visual reality in all its dimensions.
"The endless perspective of vision" është një ftesë për të vënë në pikëpyetje, për të eksploruar dhe për të sfiduar realitetin vizual në të gjitha dimensionet e tij.
