About the Juror: Joséphine Sacabo is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose work has been seen in one-person exhibitions in Paris, London, Madrid, Toulouse, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other major U.S. cities. Her work is collected by the Whitney Museum of American Art , The Museum of Modern Art ,The Art Institute of Chicago, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, The Smithsonian - Washington D.C., The Library of Congress, The New Orleans Museum of Art, The Wittliff Collection ,The Bibliothèque Nationale - Paris, and La Maison de la Photo - Paris, among others.

 Ms. Sacabo’s work is characterized by highly subjective, introspective images that hover between reality and dream. Her photography is often inspired by literary texts and she lists poets as her most important influences, among them Rilke, Baudelaire, Pedro Salinas, Vincente Huiobro, and Juan Rulfo. She is known for creating diverse photographic printing styles, using a wide variety of techniques. Through her lens, negatives over negative prints, oil washes, burning, and other techniques, she captures what photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson calls the "decisive moment." “She photographs the glint of those small, supposedly insignificant moments to reveal a larger truth -- reality's second skin.) Rulfo scholar Fernando Curiel. http://josephinesacabo.com/
