Participatory photo exhibition “Connecting the feelings of” PHOTO IS”. Photo exhibition 2021 in which you play the leading role”
Make all of Japan smile with “the power of photography”.
Call for works starts from June 1st! All exhibited works are also published online
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is a participatory photo exhibition “Connecting the Thoughts of” PHOTO IS “. You are the leading photo exhibition 2021” where the works of all exhibitors are always exhibited at the venue of your choice. Will be held sequentially at 10 venues nationwide from the Tokyo venue on October 8, 2021. The works will be exhibited together with the “feelings put into the photographs” added by the exhibitors. Prior to the event, we are looking for exhibited works * 1 from June 1st to July 31st.
We believe that photography has the power to leave important moments of joy and emotion in the form of memories, share those feelings by actually seeing the printed photos, and make many people smile and cheer up. I have. This photo shows the feelings of each and every one of you who want to make the whole of Japan smile with “the power of photography” because it is difficult to easily meet important people and have a good time together in the corona. I wanted to convey it through the exhibition, so I decided to hold “Connecting the” PHOTO IS “Thoughts. You are the leading photo exhibition 2021”.
The exhibition at the venue will be held after taking sufficient measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection. All exhibited works * 2 will be published online * 3 so that even those who cannot attend the venue can enjoy this photo exhibition
In addition to the “One Favorite” section where you can apply regardless of theme or genre, we have set up a “Genki no Moto” section as the section to be recruited this time. We are looking for works that will make you feel better every time the exhibitor looks back, such as memories of traveling with loved ones and healing time with pets. In the “Instagram” section, where you can apply by simply uploading an image to Instagram with the specified hashtag, you can easily apply as a place to display the photos you take with your smartphone on a daily basis. We will also hold joint projects with multiple companies that agree with the purpose of this photo exhibition, and solicit works from a wide range of customers.
In the online event, all the submitted works will be displayed on the website of this photo exhibition from November 19, 2021 along with the “title”, “feelings (message)” and “name (nickname)”. It will be published on a special page * 2 . You can search for works not only by the exhibition hall but also by title or message, and we will propose ways to enjoy online, such as comparing works searched by keywords you care about.
In this photo exhibition with the theme of “connecting feelings”, we will carry out “Kizuna Message” as a project that can deliver a message from visitors to exhibitors. Visitors can post a handwritten message to the exhibitors at the “Kizuna Post” provided at each venue, or read the QR code installed at the venue with a smartphone and enter the message. It will be delivered to the exhibitors by mail. The exhibitors of this photo exhibition have always said, “I’m looking forward to receiving the bond message,” and many people have realized the power of photography to connect people.
FUJIFILM will continue to meet the diversifying needs of customers, provide convenient and high-value-added products and services, and convey the original value of photography, such as “taking, leaving, decorating, and giving.” I will continue.
* 1 Only one work can be submitted per person in each department. It is possible to submit the same work or different works to multiple venues, if only one piece at a time. In case of multiple applications, a special application mount for the number of applications is required.
