AUTOPORTRAIT: Experimental Self-Portrait Prize

Following the success of our first AUTOPORTRAIT open call last year, we are excited to announce the 2025 Interim Edition once again with the theme Experimental Self-Portraits. Often involving a stretch of the imagination and pushing beyond the practice of traditional self-portraiture, experimental self-portraiture may utilise unconventional techniques and materials to explore identity, emotion, and the self in new and abstract ways. KLPA welcomes the use of diverse methods and processes, be it analogue or digital techniques, to create thought-provoking portraits. Note that AI-generated images are not allowed. A new panel of selectors is specially brought together to look for uniqueness, process, and the narrative behind these self-portraits, as standalone studies.
