A visual anthology is a collection of images, artwork, or visual content, often brought together to explore a specific theme, idea, or narrative. It could be a compilation of photographs that are captured from different perspectives or moments around a theme to present a coherent story or message.
The anthology might focus on a particular subject (e.g., nature, urban landscapes, social issues, or a specific event), a visual style (like surrealism or minimalism).

Are you thinking about creating one? Or exploring a certain visual theme?

This is exactly what we are looking for to publish or feature one of your exhibitions.
Many of you have beautiful exhibitions but no introductory text or information.
It is easy to add to your existing exhibitions to make them more attractive.

As an example, here is an exhibition titled :  'Colourful Black and White Photography'.

A short presentation text about the visual theme: 'Yes, pure BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY can indeed have a "colourful" effect, even though it may not directly include colour in the traditional sense. In black and white photography, the contrast, composition, and texture can create a sense of vibrancy and dynamism that evokes the emotional intensity and richness typically associated with colour.
Essentially, BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY uses its own set of visual tools (contrast, texture, light, and composition) to create the emotional and visual impact that colour can achieve. While it’s not literal colour, it’s still a "colourful" experience because of its ability to evoke feelings, depth, and intensity.  no presentation text but a poetic quotes under each image'.

Not a must but a great add, are the poetic quotes under each image.

To trigger your curiosity and especially your creativity, here are some images out of this exhibition.

My beautiful flat land...

"With a sky so low that canals get lost, with a sky so low that it brings humility. With a sky so grey that canals hang themself, with a sky so grey that it must be forgiven. With the wind in the north that rips it apart, with the wind in the north, listen to it cracking... This flat land that is mine (Translation: "Mon Plat Pays" by Jacques Brel)."

A crystal view from my window …

"Keep creating new windows from which to look at the world !!! Make people dreaming... One shot taken from inside the bedroom (the window), one shot from a small canal in Damme blended together. "

Eternal Sunrise …

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere, the dew is never dried all at once, a shower is forever falling, vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." ~John Muir~

Harvest Mood

" . . it is impossible you should take true root but by the fair weather that you make yourself; it is needful that you frame the season of your own harvest.” ~William Shakespeare~

FOLLOW YOUR INNER MOOD …
Don't hide the madness
