This open call was never conceived as a competition, nor as a mechanism for selecting the "best."
Its purpose was something else entirely: to gather living evidence that the practice of Raw Infinite Presence already exists. That across the world, artists — often without naming this direction — are already working within that charged space between the body, attention, and the moment of direct presence.
A new phase begins now: careful consideration and the shaping of an essay that will become the first visual articulation of this emerging direction.
This is not an endpoint.
It is only the first manifestation.
Raw Infinite Presence was never intended as a singular project or a temporary initiative. It is an unfolding practice, and there will be more open calls ahead — more publications, more spaces for encounter, more opportunities for artists working with forms of experience that cannot be reduced to style, market logic, or explanation.
If you did not submit your work to this cycle, this is not a missed chance. There will be future open calls. Perhaps, at this very moment, you are inside a work that has not yet found its final form. Perhaps it simply needs time. Perhaps the next point of entry will be precisely for it.
Stay attentive to future updates.
Thank you to everyone who dared to submit not simply an image, but a trace of real presence.
The next impulse is already taking shape. And when it arrives, we will once again open a space for those who work not with the surface of the image, but with the depth of experience.
