Urban nature! From the flowers on the balcony to the dogged bit of
grass growing between the paving stones of the streets, from the
arranged parks to the falow lands, from the free flying pigeons to the
bears in a cage at the zoo… The pinhole photography must give
youranswer to the question: which place does still occupy the nature in
our large cities?

Each photographer will have a surface of 1 m2 that he will fill with
its own way with the number of images which he wants! 1 image of 100 X
100 cm, 4 images of 50 X 50 cm or 100 images of 10 X 10 cm… which they
