The Big Rot by Ali Beşikçi

The Big Rot is ZONE’s second collective book and it features 46 artists from all around the

world. The open call didn’t have a specific theme, but the following text was included in the

guidelines:

“As usual, the theme will reveal itself during the selection process. We are not interested in

seeing your most beautiful photographs. We would like to see images that are true to themselves

and to yourself as an artist. Perhaps images that you wouldn’t include in a submission

because they’re not fresh or contemporary enough. We would like to see what has rotten

in your archives, yet has stayed in touch with you, what you have left to decay because you

weren’t ready to get into a dialogue with it. Perhaps we are! Photographs that use light to talk

about darkness, that suggest instead of showing.”
