One Day in the Northern City: International Photo Project
The project “One Day in the Northern City” is addressed to photographers living in the cities of the North of Europe, Asia and America. On November the 26th , 2010 – in the World Information Day, they are invited to make shots which can tell us about this day in the cities where they live. This kind of action of photographers from different countries will create an illusion of our simultaneous presence in different points of the planet and miraculous feeling of parallel living of one common day in the cities of Sweden, Finland, Russia, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Canada and other countries. It will also give a unique opportunity to look at these towns and cities with the eyes of artists. The best photo works, selected by the jury, will be presented at the exhibition, which will let Petrozavodsk public know more about people, nature and architecture, holidays and problems, happy and sad moments in the life of Northern cities with all their typicality and originality.
