About project

Noosfera.Themed Photography Project.

The idea for the project is to get to know the multitude of photographers’ views and opinions on philosophical subjects, the variety of thoughts on an issue coming from different perspectives.

Noosfera is neither a competition nor a contest.
It is the process of devoting thought to a subject… An expression of one’s opinion, of one’s perception through photography.
How can you compete for opinions? You can only express them, hear them out, accept or reject them for yourself.

Variety of views and opinions is a treasure for art!

Noosfera is not an internet project. It is live communication among authors acting as interlocutors. This communication is based, however, not the language of words but primarily on photography. Participants seek not only awareness of other opinions, but understanding of them, a discovery of something that speaks to their own hearts.

How it works:

1. The moment comes when a topic blossoms in our minds

2. We gather to share it, and split for three weeks.

3. We ponder the subject, attempting to understand what it means to us as well as how each of us sees it. We formulate an opinion and try to express it in one photograph.

4. In three weeks, everybody meets for a second time, ready to discuss and talk about the subject, sharing and viewing each other’s photographic works, express and hearing out each other’s thoughts.

There are specific criteria for photographs:
They should be produced within a specific time frame. You cannot exhibit an earlier photograph because everything changes with time, especially our worldviews. Every author can only display one work on a subject, thus contributing the thought they feel is most important, the one they would like to share with their audience of interlocutors: we cannot have two first thoughts, there is always one.
