ISTORIA is a national juried and invitational exhibition that will showcase the various styles characterizing contemporary narrative photography. As narrative photography moves the image beyond a simple representation, the works will serve as interpretations of modern allegory while acting as vehicles for visual communication.

Misguided by Ann George

In “Dream Allegory” I was inspired by visual images that go from tangible physical reality to dreamlike symbolism. The artists chosen for this exhibit all have different photographic methods and voices, but they are intertwined by a thread of dreamy symbolism and style. To accentuate the parable, all the work in the show is monochromatic, simplifying visual clutter to focus on symbolic implications. This exhibit allows us to see beyond the surface and diving into our dream lore.

Whether the artists is capturing a specific place, people, animal, emotion or creating their own mythos, as a whole, we’re treated with a visual journey into night, like following the white rabbit down the hole of our collective unconsciousness.
