The Big Rot is Zone’s second collective book and it features 46 artists from all around the world. The open call didn’t have a specific theme, but the following text was included i n the guidelines.As usual, the theme will reveal itself during the selection process. We are not interested in seeing your most beautiful photographs. We would like to see images that are true to themselves and to yourself as an artist. Perhaps images that you wouldn’t include in a submission because they’re not fresh or contemporary enough. We would like to see what has rotten in your archives, yet has stayed in touch with you, what you have left to decay because you weren’t ready to get into a dialogue with it. Perhaps we are! Photographs that use light to talk about darkness, that suggest instead of showing.
