Express contest: "Transformed Reality"
For the second ART RIGA PHOTO FAIR, the express contest explored how contemporary photography reshapes our perception of the world, digital and manipulated, analogue and documentary. Entrants submitted work through the fair's site; the final score combined a public vote (50%) with the jury's (50%). The winner received a five-metre stand, and second and third places three-metre stands.
