On the occasion of the 12th Darmstädter Tage der Fotografie, the festival organizers and the association "Culture of a Digital City" are offering offer international artists the opportunity to apply for a two-month artist residency (March 6 to May 8, 2023) in the studio house on the Rosenhöhe in Darmstadt.The residency in a 3-room apartment house with additional studio space will be subsidized with a monthly fee of 1,500 euros each and production costs totaling 2,000 euros.
Curatorial and professional advice for the grantee as well as travel allowances will be provided.
In the spirit of the year's theme, the residency is intended to enable the fellows to conduct their own experiment outside their usual normality and aim at the completion or development of an art project. The results of the residency will be exhibited at the studio space during the festival and presented to the public at an artist talk in April 2023.
In addition to a short curriculum vitae and a concrete work project (max. two A4 pages), the basic requirement for the application is above all a personal, preferably via social media submitted short statement of the artist, why exactly he or she should be given the opportunity of an experiment in the form of an artist residency.
Deadline for submission is December 15, 2022.

| | Open Call – Merck-Prize»Tilt/Shift – Experiment as a normal state «
The Merck Prize, endowed with € 10,000, is being offered for the ninth time. All photographers and artists who work with the medium of photography as well as all students, e.g. of art, design and photography and photo assistants, can participate in the Open Call of the »9th Merck Prize of the Darmstadt Days of Photography«. An independent, contemporary position had to be recognisable.
A jury of curators, photographers, some of whom are also initiators of the Darmstadt Days of Photography, will select up to 10 works from a large number of portfolios of international artists on two consecutive days and as a result of intensive discussions. The winner of the "9th Merck Prize of the Darmstadt Days of Photography” will only be decided by the jury on the day of the opening of the festival. The hanging, realisation and final exhibition context of the works will again be decisive for the jury’s final decision.
The works should refer to the annual topic:
The simultaneous and worldwide crises reveal to us a long unimaginable failure, even in fields of action of our society that were previously believed to be secure. Although there is no claim to a normal state of the world, the feeling of security is fading for an ever-increasing number of people: Familiar perspectives are breaking down, certainties are shifting.
The promise that everything will remain fine, or will be fine, is dissolving and can hardly be carried forward from the present into the future. Even people who previously thought they were safe in their living space increasingly perceive their everyday lives as threatened. Patterns of thought are being questioned and discussed – constructively by groups and individuals, but also polarisingly by fact-twisters. Old discourses about Eurocentric and postcolonial views of the world – large and small – are being continued.
Times of crisis do not only mean uncertainty, but can – despite everything – also reveal opportunities. Potentials, partly due to necessity, are examined at all levels for free spaces, new things and further developments. Is the experiment of having to constantly reorient oneself now becoming the normal state of affairs? How can photography capture the enormous changes? Which images enable us to better understand an unsettled, diverse world in turbulent and complex change – and to keep an eye on the open outcome of the experiment.
Entries for the supporting programme and the Merck Prize of the Darmstadt Days of Photography 2023 must be received in full by 29 November 2022 (date of receipt).
