Minimum & Der Greif have collaborated on an open call where the theme is loosely based on migration. The aim is to explore the concept and representation of migration. ”The Latin word “mōmentum” means movement, but also motion, change, revolution, moment, circumstance, importance, influence. In physics, momentum is instead the product of the mass and velocity of an object or a person.” The selected images will be printed to be part of an installation at MINIMUM Studio in Palermo (Sicily – Italy) as well as being featured here. As soon as a picture is chosen by the judge, it is printed and shown at Minimum Studio in Palermo. The selected images form an installation exhibited inside a window-display in the courtyard of the studio that is open to the public. As soon as the window-display is full, another print was placed over the first layer, and so on.  The installation is curated by Simone Sapienza (Minimum).
