Guest Room: Jo. Trujillo Argüelles & María Santoyo

About the Open Call

Guest Room aims to inspire collaboration and creative exchange. In this edition, Jo. Trujillo Argüelles, former Director of the Centro de la Imagen, partners with María Santoyo, director of PHotoESPAÑA. Together, they introduce the theme for your submissions: 'What (Dis)Appears'. As in the darkroom, between developer and fixer, photography is a space for manifesting the latent and fixing imaginaries and narratives. This edition of Guest Room seeks to explore the nature of the image from its margins, memory, time, and collective imaginaries, opening up possibilities for exploring the relationship between image and text, the visible and the invisible, and reinterpretations of archives. Der Greif is an award-winning organization for contemporary photography, functioning as a print-publication, online-publication, curatorial team, and joint project, connecting the digital and the analogue.

What is Offered

Selected artists will be published in an online showcase on Der Greif. 10 selected artists under 30 will receive a 20-minute one-on-one 'Face-to-Face' portfolio feedback session led by guest reviewer Jo. Trujillo Argüelles, focused on ongoing projects and future development.

Requirements

Open to photographers worldwide. Priority will be given to emerging artists under 30 who are currently working on a body of work. Images previously selected for a Der Greif opportunity are not eligible for re-submission.

How to Apply

Artists can submit their work through the Guest Room platform. Submissions are free, but a voluntary 10€ donation is suggested to support the non-profit organization. Discount codes are available for those unable to contribute financially by emailing voucher-guestroom-2@dergreif.org.
