ITS Contest 2019
Concept
Sincerely True
In a time when we compete against each other screaming, when we project our own image filtered in a totally artificial manner, when we give room to misleading messages and truth becomes ineffable and confusing, ITS seems anachronistic: it invites you to come forward the midst of chaos, to muffle the noise, and to simply be yourself. To truly be yourself, because truth doesn’t need to be yelled out. ITS aims at being be like slow breathing, like a breath of fresh air, without filters, without irony, without the endless need to show how cool we are. ITS aims at breaking down all the walls and all the superstructures. ITS aims at baring its soul, at exchanging views, without barriers. ITS aims at telling the beauty and the truth that each individual will bring along. The truth of the finalists, of their stories, the beauty of their creations. Simply. Honestly.
