Ima Next - Plant Life

Combining plants on roadsides with photographs to celebrating nature in cities, immersing his camera in a pond, using an infrared camera to capture the night animals in the forest, funnelling birds from the sky into a open fertile landscape – Our jury for this competition is Stephen Gill, an artist who has always worked closely with nature. “PLANT LIFE” is his theme of choice. The plants in cities, vegetables in the supermarket, greens in the house, or this term could even further extend to the exotic forests in a faraway country. “PLANT LIFE” not only touches on the generic definition of plants but also can refer to the life that springs off from such greenery like insects, birds, and animals; your personal life or collaborating with plants or human life alongside plant life; plants being pushed away or reclaiming space; food, environment or the joy and pleasure plants can offer. With such a broad understanding of the theme, why not try reflecting upon the holistic understanding of this theme using photography?
