FREE ENTRY - Der Greif - Guest Room: Michael Famighetti

Der Greif has invited Michael Famighetti, editor in chief of Aperture magazine and the editorial program, to curate a Guest Room. Michael Famighetti crafted the following theme for your submissions: “SUPER SIGHT”.

"Berenice Abbott made stunning pictures of objects and scientific phenomena in the 1950s. To do so, she developed a process she called 'Super Sight,' based on the ancient camera obscura, producing stunning, hypnotic images that scaled up small objects without the use of a photographic enlarger. Abbott’s process revealed strange, orderly phenomena, probed the nature of objects, revealing forms, textures, and patterns that would normally go unnoticed. For this edition of Guest Room, we are seeking images that broadly play on Abbot’s notion of Super Sight – images that parse the surface of the everyday to reveal something curious, unexpected, abstract, and the otherworldly close to home."
