Hello,

I'm pasting here a call for submissions; it is to participate in an exhibition.
It is about Hermeticism and Photography. The event isn't focused in Thelema, but it's neither focused in any specific branch or current of the western mystery traditions and all of them are welcome, since we do respect freedom of religion and freedom of thought.

Fixing the volatile:
The ancient alchemists of the past spent their lives trying to find a way to fix the volatile; a way to capture the light of the spirit and materialize it. Thus, respecting the freedom of religion, thought and expression, we call the new artisans of the light to participate in a very similar work.

The Salón Arcano invites amateur and professional photographers to submit  works inspired by dreams, allegories,  myths, mysticism, the intangibles, spirituality, alchemy, astrology, qabalah, magic or the mystery traditions for our next exhibition that will take place in May 2012 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An exhibition of photography and visual arts named: “The Square: an Hermetic Revelation”.
In the exhibition, the photographies will be displayed next to a text (submitted by each photographer), thus creating a mirror in which the photo explains the text and the text becomes the  mirror-image of the photo.
