TRENDS IN THE CREATIVE USE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE PHOTO COMPETITION OF THE PHODAR BIENNIAL (1999 – 2011)

Summary/Abstract: The development of technology after 2000 is characterized by two important moments in photography: the emergence and mass entry into the life of digital technology and the rapid development of online space - the avalanche expansion of social networks. This has led to significant changes in the figurative language of the phenomenon - moving away from visual virtuosity and pursuing pictorial effects at the expense of focused and detailed narrative, which, however, works much more precisely with the contextual environment of the reality object, thus visibly recognizable and documented. The International Fodar Biennale Photo Festival - appeared on the art map of Bulgaria in 1999 in Pleven and so far there have been 11 editions, through which you can trace these changes in the visual language over the years in the work of over 1,700 photographers from more than 50 countries. Photography, once again, emphasizes its documentary nature and, stepping back from it, searches in the obvious for both the epic chords of existence and the subtlest movements of the spirit.
