WINNERS

Suspended In Gaffa

  • Photographer
    Jason and Amanda Ray, United States
  • Prize
    Silver Winner in Technique/Lomography

Having recently won the MS Art Commission's FY23 Individual Artist grant for our current 120mm film project, our goal is to examine the surreal and oftentimes otherworldly colors of lomography, set against a starkly contrasting macabre background. This visual irony is meant to portray what our dreams project, simultaneously melancholy and peacefully surreal. Be it nightmare or fantasy, we take grim subject matter and put both light and color over darkness. Nightmares become daydreams. Death becomes a peaceful dream.
