Musee de l'Elysee

A photograph I entered into an exhibit was shown at the Musee de l'Elysee in Lausanne, Switzerland. The exhibit explores photography's rising accessibility to the working class (I added the communist undertones) as digital photography progresses and everybody owns a camera.

Anybody around the world can submit and each week a hundred images are chosen at random by a computer and printed in archival quality. The selections are then shown in the museum for 1 week before being replaced by the next selection.

What's especially cool is that now something I did is permanently archived in a museum. I like to think that my photo wasn't chosen at random but that someone saw it and nudged it through the digital gates because it reminded him or her of an Ikea ad.

It's not too late to enter photos.

Unfortunately, I can't remember what I called the picture. If I'm ever in Switzerland, I can't go and ask them to retrieve it. It was profound and deeply layered. I remember that much.
