SyS > Scan your Skin Book, web site and offline project

Call for ideas and proposals

 Our skin is our vulnerable shell. It protects us and characterizes
each one= of us as an individual. Besides its physical attributes,
our skin conveys = differences between people; it takes on ancestral,
historical, cultural and= political implications. As time flows on,
it !
 carves more signs and meaning= s on our skin.

SyS wants to explore this territory from different points of view.
Creative= personalities will suggest artistic interpretations of the
project message= , thus offering their own reading of the human skin.
Photography, graphic a= rts, the written word; a bold, abstract
approach or a sober and realistic o= ne - each contribution will be a
key component of this multifaceted jigsaw = puzzle. The goal is to
build a well-structured picture of human skin as a c= oncept/research
object. The final work will be published in a book and dist= ributed
to selected retailers all over the world.

Artists, writers, designers and cultural producers: we are calling you!

17x24 cm./6.70x9.= 45 in.). It can be anything from a photo
or photo series/sequence, to graph= ic work, a story, an article or a
poem.  As the book will include a DVD, please feel free to !
