Call for entry to the exhibition
Faster !!!

The André Malraux du Bourget cultural center organizes its third
international exhibition of photography without lens (pinhole,
zone-plate, sieve) around the subject of transport.
Since the dawn of time, the man looked for all the means to transport
itself in a speed superior to the one than his legs allowed it. He so
invented and finalized the mechanical systems, used the driving
strength of elements, made machines always more successful with
technological means.
So automobiles, motorcycles, buses, planes or boats transport human
beings and goods worldwide with a lot of often polluting energy, while
cycles, rollers, skateboards allow us to move in an often more
restricted perimeter but by guaranteeing a certain purity of the air.
Choose your means of transportation and tell in a coherent sequence
from five to ten images how you transport yourselves from a point to
the other one.
The size, the support and the arrangement of the images is free.
The exhibition will take place from March 6th till April 25th, 2009 in
the CCAM of Le Bourget.
