Mono No Aware Exhibition Xx: Call for Entries- Film, Sculpture, Performance

Overview
MONO NO AWARE, an organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of analog cinema, announces an open call for its 20th anniversary exhibition. This edition invites artists working across film, sculpture, and performance to submit works that engage with the materiality of the moving image and its intersection with other media. The exhibition will be held in a global context, reflecting the organization's commitment to fostering international dialogue among practitioners. The call is open to artists at all career stages, with no application fee indicated. Selected works will be presented as part of a curated program that highlights the tactile and temporal qualities of analog film, expanded cinema, and related practices. The exhibition seeks to showcase a range of approaches, from traditional film formats to sculptural and performative interventions that challenge the boundaries of the medium. Curatorially, MONO NO AWARE is interested in works that demonstrate a deep engagement with the physical properties of film, including but not limited to celluloid, projection, and optical effects. The 20th anniversary edition aims to reflect on the legacy of analog cinema while imagining its future, providing a platform for artists who push the boundaries of the moving image. This is an opportunity for practitioners to contribute to a critical discourse on the enduring relevance of analog media in a digital age.
