About:

Guest Room is dedicated to igniting collaboration. Christiane Monarchi, the founding co-editor of Hapax Magazine and founding editor of Photomonitor, is teaming up with curator Eva Eicker, an expert focusing on social and cultural issues for critical engagement with contemporary photography.

For this edition of Guest Room, they have crafted the guiding framework: "Wortbildsalat / word-image-salad." Christiane Monarchi and Eva Eicker extend an invitation to create a communal poem, whose image-text interplay evolves throughout the 15 days of the online curation.

This theme draws inspiration from Surrealist salons, reflecting the artistic practices of figures such as André Breton and Marcel Duchamp, who famously collaborated on "cadavre exquis" or "exquisite corpse" creations, merging words or drawings.

Artists are invited to submit images accompanied by a caption formed of a line of text or another form of language experiment which can act as a gateway into an internal world. We welcome you to share an inner experience of the submitted photograph with us and join in crafting a photographic "Wordbildsalat / word-image-salad".

Each day’s curation of selected images will generate an experimental image-based poem inviting readers along on a journey of connections between visual and linguistic cues. In juxtaposing the internal and visible world, this Guest Room curation will be an artwork in its entirety, unfolding as a 15-part love letter to inner worlds accessed through the photographic.
