Open Calls

Guest Room fosters collaboration and sparks creative exchange. For this edition, galleries and curator Ghislain Pascal and New York-based photographer Sebastian Perinotti collaborate to explore the following theme:

"Identity on Collision Course"

For this Guest Room, we invite work that explores identity through this lens of collision. How do multiple selves meet within one body? How do different identities intersect or clash in public and private space? How do images expose or conceal the forces pressing against us? This call is an invitation to engage with identity not as a fixed state, but as a moving field of impact and encounter: a collision course where photography becomes a way to question, resist, and remake who we are with and against the world.

Guest Room fosters collaboration and sparks creative exchange. For this edition, curator Dr. Charmaine Toh joins forces with curator and art historian Philippe Pirotte to explore the following theme:

"Black Box"

We invite photographers who engage with these hidden dimensions of image-making. How do unseen processes alter photography’s relationship to memory or truth? What is at stake in the aspects that remain mysterious? And how might opacity itself become a creative or political tool – offering ambiguity, refusal, or shelter in a world that demands constant clarity?
