In this day and age, photography is the most necessary and practical process for anyone wishing or being required to document facts, which in terms, will serve in the future as proof of our natural being and the reality of it all. But the artist was able to show other aspects of photography as well; making it possible for one to understand that photography has other values, becoming thus, one of the most appealing forms of contemporary art, out of which many groups of artists have gotten their own share. They haven’t chosen it merely based on the commodity of its realization. On the contrary, they were inspired by what is linked to the embodied telling of their own ideas and concepts, on the changes in the evolution of our natural being. Through the technologies of photography, young artists are able to reveal images of their future. This starts primarily by demonstrating the images of existence and later, by transforming these images with purposes of enriching and accumulating the human culture. Never before, has this culture, been able to be seen with such strength and clarity. It has been since the day when photography was first discovered, and up until our present times, that this process in continuity is causing a valuable, historic documentation and is embellishing itself as an artistic technique that is definitely worthy of developing and advancing the human mind. In this curatorial approach, the photographs of two Albanian students were chosen, in order to be part of the IHPE competition.
