In March 2026, Fondazione Capri introduced an open call addressed to photographers of all backgrounds, encouraging them to interpret the theme VIAGGI E MIRAGGI. Open to both professionals and amateurs, the initiative invites participants to reflect on the nature of travel, perception, and illusion through the language of photography.
The inspiration behind this edition stems from the bicentennial of the rediscovery of the Blue Grotto, a site whose mythological aura dates back to the era of Emperor Tiberius. This historical milestone becomes a starting point for a broader exploration of rediscovery—not only of places, but also of meanings, sensations, and perspectives.
The sea, central to this narrative, acts as both a physical and symbolic space, representing movement, transformation, and the unknown. Photography, in turn, becomes a medium of passage—capable of guiding us through real and imagined journeys, toward worlds that are distant, hidden, or only partially revealed.
Each image invites viewers to cross a threshold into unfamiliar territory, disrupting certainty and opening new interpretations. At the same time, the idea of return remains essential: every journey ultimately leads back, transformed. It is within this dynamic interplay between departure and return that the photographic image finds its most profound resonance.
