We are excited to announce Torbjørn Rødland as the guest editor for Issue 17.

Curiosity, criticality, artifice and reverence for the natural world appear throughout Torbjørn Rødland’s work and often in the same image, forging links between twentieth-century art photography and twenty-first-century approaches to image-making. Often prompted by non-photographic imagery that he transforms into real-world photographic subjects, Rødland portrays scenes designed to generate psychological reaction through his depiction of highly sensory qualities.

We invite you to submit work that responds to the theme, “One Day Soon.” Rødland wants to see the medium of photography opening up and pushed forward in response to the rise of generative AI; beyond conceptualism and critical appropriation, towards a grounded but updated mysticism.

We look forward to receiving your submission by the deadline of May 2.

Guest Room is dedicated to igniting collaboration. Christiane Monarchi, the founding co-editor of Hapax Magazine and founding editor of Photomonitor, is teaming up with curator Eva Eicker, an expert focusing on social and cultural issues for critical engagement with contemporary photography. Together they have designed the next theme for your submissions: "Wortbildsalat / word-image-salad" as an invitation to create a communal poem.

This theme draws inspiration from Surrealist salons, reflecting the artistic practices of figures such as André Breton and Marcel Duchamp, who famously collaborated on "cadavre exquis" or "exquisite corpse" creations, merging words or drawings.

Artists are invited to submit images accompanied by a caption. We welcome you to share an inner experience of the submitted photograph with us and join in crafting a photographic "Wordbildsalat / word-image-salad". We are implementing a Guest Room Scholarship, sponsored by MPB: an artist stipend of 1.000 € to one of the selected submitters. For the chance to be awarded a stipend submit before the deadline on May 8. Learn more below. Supported by MPB, the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo and video kit.
