OPEN CALL |
Jump – spend one second in the intuitive space between earth and sky. Is it really not a flight or a moment of levitation? Jump is an infinite platform. An independent fortress. The fastest way to time travel. A shift in the system of energy. Single jump is needed to find yourself in another universe. A getaway? Rotating at a sharp angle? Dancing in a circle? What else can it mean?

The theme of
Kaunas International Illustration Biennial 2020 – Jump – is open to innovative concepts and experimental forms of expression. |
