OFFICINE FOTOGRAFICHE x LIFE FRAMER
18 – 31 May 2017

Life Framer has become a world-renowned platform for discovering and celebrating contemporary photography from amateur, emerging and professional artists around the globe. It hosts an independent award, supported by a growing community of creative photographers, designed to champion creative culture on and offline.
This travelling exhibition marks the culmination of the third edition of the Life Framer Photography Prize, with further shows taking place in Tokyo, London and New York. The exhibitions will showcase stunning contemporary photography from 24 winning photographers, each chosen by globally acclaimed judges across twelve months of diverse themes encompassing ‘Life’. Each theme is consciously abstract in order to create freedom and encourage creativity, and the resulting selection of varied, challenging and meaningful photography is testament to that.
