Hystrio, IED Milano e il Centro per la fotografia dello spettacolo di San Miniato promuovono la terza edizione del Premio Hystrio-Occhi di Scena che, dedicato alla fotografia di scena, si pone come obiettivo di far emergere una professionalità mai sufficientemente valorizzata nel mondo del teatro e, al contempo, di favorire la ricerca di nuove forme di comunicazioni e di nuovi linguaggi. Considerando la fotografia parte vitale della comunicazione dello spettacolo e delle creazioni artistiche a esso connesse, il premio vuole promuovere e sostenere progetti fotografici di qualità che sappiano coniugare il rispetto dell’evento performativo con nuovi modelli espressivi capaci di darne una lettura critica ed interpretativa.
Il premio è rivolto a tutti i fotografi residenti in Europa, di età compresa o inferiore a 35 anni, che svolgono un’attività di collaborazione presso teatri, compagnie, festival, o che vogliano fare con la propria arte un omaggio al mondo dello spettacolo.
Il tema per l’edizione 2011 è: Lo spazio scenico (i candidati dovranno quindi creare un “ritratto” dei luoghi del teatro). Il premio verrà consegnato nel corso della serata finale del Premio Hystrio 2011, che si terrà a Milano nel mese di giugno.

“HYSTRIO-OCCHI DI SCENA” AWARD
2011 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Hystrio, IED Milano and il Centro per la fotografia dello spettacolo di San Miniato (the San Miniato Center for Performance Photography) present the third edition of the Hystrio-Occhi di Scena Award. This competition, dedicated to stage photography, aims at supporting a profession whose value is rarely correctly appreciated in the theatre community, while also intending to push the discovery of new languages and new forms of communication.
We consider photography a fundamental tool in the transmission and communication of any artistic creations that fit within the definition of performance. Therefore, the competition strives to promote and sustain high quality photographic projects, which combine respect for the performance itself to new expressive models that provide critical interpretative readings of this work.
The call for submissions is open to all photographers resident in Europe and 35 years old or younger. These photographers may already be engaged in collaborative work with theatres, companies, festivals, and/or they may wish to pay their homage to the world of performance through their art.
The theme for the 2011 edition is The scenic space (the candidates shall therefore create a “portrait” of theatre spaces).
The prize will be awarded in June, during the evening gala of the 2011 Hystrio Price.
The jury will be composed by: Massimo Agus (photographer); Rossella Bertolazzi (director of IED Arti Visive Milano); Maurizio Buscarino (photographer); Claudia Cannella (director of Hystrio); Cosimo Chiarelli (photography historian); Marco Giorgetti (director of the Teatro della Pergola di Firenze); Silvia Lelli (photographer); Andrea Messana (photographer); Fabrizio Arcuri (director of Accademia degli Artefatti).
