What is Fotox1000? One thousands photos for an event dedicated to the participation and the exchange of ideas between young photographers and professional ones. Fotox1000 is back: the exhibition last year in the circuit of FotoGrafia, International Festival of Rome, brought in the gallery Sala 1 over 1000 photos taken by more than 400 photographers from all over the world (including States such as Iran, Kuwait, Ucraine, Mexico, the United States, South Corea, etc.) showing their point of view on the theme ‘Declinations of Joy’. Now is time for the second edition.

The theme of the II edition

The IX edition of FotoGrafia is full of changes, with new curators, a new place (the Macro Testaccio, the Museum of Contemporary art of Rome), and a new period (from the end of September till the end of October). The theme of Fotox1000 will be the one of the Festival: “Futurspectives. Can photography predict the future? Is there a future for photography?”.

The invitation is open to everyone, called to send a maximum of 10 photos, based on the theme and using a new and dynamic language, investigating the future of mankind, that has to renovate the modern society, the future of nature, threatened by global warming and humanization, and the future of photography itself, more and more in connection with new media and other ways of expressions.

The place, the Testaccio district

The exhibition will be hosted by Rising Love, one of the biggest and most animated club of Testaccio, with lots of cultural initiatives and exhibitions during the year.
