The ninth edition of the Autofocus prize

Three artists won big at Autofocus #9, the international young art competition promoted by Vanni eyewear, organised by Olga Gambari. Negar Sh from Iran was awarded the exhibition project prize, Muge Yildiz from Turkey the video prize, and Camilla Soave and Beatriz Bizarro from Portugal the performance prize. “The winning projects fully encapsulate the unique paths taken by these artists, breathing life into three conceptual and perceptive stories with different forms of expression. The common denominator of these stories is their attention to the smallest of things, to the breaths and flashes of light which gather between the spaces of life, life which passes by indiscriminately and inadvertently because of the speed and the mass of necessary actions and information taken in” explained the competition organiser.
