Exhibition
Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) is happy to announce a group exhibition open call "Natural Wonders".

Humans are but small beings in the vast natural world, while nature possesses truly extraordinary power, whose magnificence and grandeur have always commanded awe. This exhibition focuses on natural wonders from across the globe, inviting photographers to explore and showcase these breathtaking phenomena. What kind of natural wonders have you captured through your lens? Is it the traces left by billions of years of geological activity, the majestic sight of waterfalls cascading from the sky, or the rare spectacle of meteors streaking across the heavens and falling to Earth? Perhaps it's the stark contrast between snow-covered expanses and volcanic eruptions, the boundless yet stunningly beautiful depths of deserts, or unique landscapes where ancient human traces have merged seamlessly with nature.

We welcome photographic works that capture the diversity of natural wonders around the world. Through your lens, let us together experience the power, subtlety, and extraordinary beauty of nature.

Prizes:
Artworks will be printed (Epson giclée print) and framed by us and shown in the group exhibition;
Chinese-English bilingual online feature on our website;
Chinese-English bilingual digital catalog;
Chinese-English bilingual promotion on Chinese and international social media.
