Memento Mori is a profound and evocative theme in photography, focusing on the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. This concept, rooted in the Latin phrase meaning "remember that you must die," encourages a deep reflection on mortality and the passage of time. Memento mori can be a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of our existence, a source of comfort and inspiration, and that we should make the most of our remaining time on this mortal coil. Show us, what makes life worth living, and how does one cope with the certainty of death?

Abandoned is an exhibition exploring abandoned and rediscovered objects, spaces, and structures. A popular genre in the photographic world is the trend of urban exploration ("urbex") — the exploration of abandoned or forgotten places to document the narrative of those who lived or worked there. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the ephemeral nature and memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and objects convey about society as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and what-or whom-are we abandoning?

Abandoned is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
