Through an international open call, PEP and B-Part Exhibition invited artists to reflect on the theme "DE-CONSTRUCTED" from the perspective of their individual practices. In an era marked by continuous change, where structures—social, personal, and visual—are constantly in flux, the selected works explore photography’s unique potential to question, dismantle, and reimagine reality.

​

The participating artists approach the theme from diverse perspectives. Some examine architectural and urban environments as spaces of transformation, while others turn to the shifting terrain of identity, familial ties, and societal or political structures—capturing moments of vulnerability, transition, and renewal. Experimental approaches push the boundaries of photographic form, mirroring the fragmentation of contemporary experience. Several works engage with questions rooted in the natural world and geological layers of the earth, exploring how physical landscapes too can be sites of deconstruction and historical sedimentation. Through acts of deconstruction and reinterpretation, these works invite viewers to reconsider the narratives and frameworks that shape our understanding of the world.

​

DE-CONSTRUCTED presents a multifaceted reading of contemporary life, revealing how photography can serve as a tool for both critique and creation. The exhibition highlights the richness of international artistic dialogue and the power of the photographic image to deconstruct our perceptions and open space for new ways of seeing.
