Black, White and All The Shades In-between: Anarchyº2
Anarchy°2 is the second chapter in Ephemere’s exploration of black and white photography — an ongoing study of form, emotion and visual freedom. Featuring 143 international photographers, this edition abandons color to focus on contrast, ritual and instinct.
In this article, Giovannella Pirina interviews seven featured artists — Colette Saint Yves, Monique Belier, Gerasimos Platanas, Jessica Gerard, Ezra Petry, Francisco González Camacho, and Billy Kenrick — offering insight into their processes, philosophies, and selected works. Anarchy°2 becomes a collective ritual, held together by the absence of color and the presence of intention.
Anarchy°1: A Retrospective
In preparation for our next Open Call for black-and-white pictures, writer, Sophie Gray, interviewed six of her fellow Anarchy°1 photographers — Anca Pandrea, Cecilia Milza Mirror, Joel Luna Prado, Marek Majewski, Sabine Kranich-V., and Sebastian Sighell — to reflect on the past year with ephemere., their motivations for submitting work, and the impact of seeing it in print. These reflections aim to inspire a new wave of photographers to join the ever-growing ephemere. community.
Ephemere Journal
Our journal shares behind-the-scenes stories of collaborations, providing exclusive insights into the artists and projects that we support. Interviews with photographers and event highlights connect readers with the world of visual storytelling. We offer a detailed look at the creative process and community engagement.
We amplify the voices of photographers and writers who combine storytelling with visual art. We feature artists beyond our scope if their work aligns with our mission and vision. This space fosters deeper exploration of photography’s impact and encourages connections within the artistic community.
Contributing to our Journal allows sharing voices with a broader creative audience. We support underrepresented perspectives from photographers, writers, or both. Involvement facilitates engagement with fellow artists and readers, expanding reach and contributing to thoughtful discussions on photography.

▸ The Ephemere Photo Journal, Volume 1: "The Duality of Ephemerality and Permanence," is a deliberate act of seeking permanence in the momentary. Born from Publisher Anne Murayama's personal realization of finding lasting echoes in fleeting experiences through exclusive articles and photo essays, this journal serves as the physical souvenir of the Ephemere Photo Fest. Printed in an accessible newsprint format in cooperation with Kyoto Shimbun Printing, it brings together diverse essays and photo essays to explore how the camera transforms the transient world into enduring visual narratives.
