This is a separate but related theme to that of Earth. The capacity of human society to inflict violence upon itself and the Earth is expanding with the ever increasing spread of technology. In exploring and confronting this theme, FotoFest is not focusing on depiction of violent acts but rather on how creative artists interpret acts of violence and the human capacity for violence in all aspects of life. As with the theme of Earth, FotoFest is looking for conceptual work. It can be staged, photojournalistic, or abstract. It can also be cross-disciplinary.
