Theme: Human Body
the art of seeing ourselves
The human body is where photography becomes personal.
In this juried online exhibition, Decagon Gallery invites photographers to explore the body not as an object, but as experience—marked by time, identity, vulnerability, strength, intimacy, and presence.
The body may appear whole or fragmented, revealed or obscured, celebrated or questioned. What matters is intention: how the photograph engages with what it means to inhabit a body.
Curatorial Scope
This call is open to a wide range of photographic approaches, including fine art, documentary, conceptual, staged, and experimental work. We welcome images that address the body in relation to self, gender, age, culture, politics, illness, labor, memory, desire, and transformation.
The exhibition seeks work that is thoughtful, resolved, and aware of the weight this subject carries.
Regarding Nudity &
Sensitive Content
Tasteful artistic nude work is welcome.
Images should be presented with care, respect, and clear artistic intent.
Gratuitous or exploitative depictions will not be considered.
Submissions that do not comply with social media platform guidelines may still be accepted, but may not be included in the YouTube video or social media.

Who This Call Is For
