Call for Submissions: Tempography

Tempography is a new international art form that examines the unexplored zone between the moving and the still image. The pieces are called "tempographs". They are still images extended in time. Each piece must be less than 30 seconds long. They are shown in sequences, with black before and after.

A tempograph is a brief visual impact creating an atmosphere. Tempographs are silent, and this provides the pieces with a hypnotic quality.

THIS IS AN OPEN CALL FOR VIDEO ART PIECES to a group exhibition that will take place at the Cinema Zita in central Stockholm, starting August 4, 2006. Deadline is July 15.
