"*Today everything exists to end in a photograph*," proclaimed the
eminent cultural theorist **Susan Sontag**. With the ever increasing
visual onslaught, the proliferation of tumblrs and fashion blogs, we
might be nearing that stage in the near future. It is harder and harder
to spot a visual gem amongst the plethora of trashy imagery (even though
trashiness also has its allure).
Thus, competitions like **FRAME**, a photography contest for
up-and-coming artists from the V4 countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia,
Poland and Hungary), might take up the role of the visual filters. "*It
offers unlimited freedom to free art in the broadest spectrum from
realism through visual-art imagination to conceptual creation*."
Finalists were selected from 104 artists. The winners' works, including
**Anna Gutová** and Gabriel Fragner who scooped the
first prize for their classical approach, are on display at the Prague
**Leica gallery** until 4 March 2012.
