About Where is your wilderness?

Opens Wednesday 14 July 2010
Closes midday Monday 2 August 2010 at midday
Winners announced Sunday 8 August 2010

Can you enter a photograph that tells us something about your relationship with nature?

Our current exhibition On Overgrown Paths by Ben Rivers shows three 16mm films projected inside ramshackle wooden cabins.The films depict modern day hermits who embrace the wilderness and have a strong bond with nature.

In response to this, Impressions Gallery would like you to get creative and photograph what the wilderness is to you. How do you connect with nature? We would encourage you to explore this idea broadly and to be playful in your approach.

This could be through photographing the beauty of the countryside, or your back garden, a shed, a park, a secret corner somewhere, or simply the sky at night. Show us where you go to escape the pressures of the modern world.

Will you impress the judges - Andy Wade, Multi-Media Manager at Orange UK and Sarah Read, Deputy Director of Impressions Gallery - and win a prize?

Have fun and we look forward to seeing your photographs. To see the entries so far visit the flickr group site or the see the slideshow above.
