OMNE is a landscape observation project, an observatory that contains projects designed to heighten one’s sensitivity to the landscape through the practice of walking. Through the use of multidisciplinary input, OMNE promotes projects and activities in the local area that conduct photography campaigns, public walks, artist residencies, workshops, conferences, encounters, exhibitions and publications. Benefitting from the promotion and financial support of Castelfranco Veneto’s Environmental and Productive Activities Department, the Prevention Department of ULSS 2 Marca Trevigiana and the University of Padua, the project also enjoys collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Bologna.
Starting in 2016, OMNE has held two artist residencies, hosting fifteen creative individuals and running a well-organized programme of events.
OMNEFEST will run in Castelfranco Veneto from 4 September to 1 November 2021.
The common man, who lives in the midst of those like him, sees in nature only that which regards him and rarely senses this mysterious, disturbing relationship. He discerns the surfaces of things made by him and other men over the course of centuries, and is inclined to believe that the Earth is interested in him because it is possible to cultivate a field, thin out a wood, and make a river navigable.
His eye, which is directed almost only towards men, looks at nature at the same time as at something obvious and perfect.

The call speaks for the place where various artistic disciplines come together in order to test ways of travelling across the local area and reading its landscape, thus promoting a new way of looking at contemporariness.
Each artist is called upon to develop their own personal project using photography and/or video. During the residency, they will have meetings, debates and discussions with instructors and experts who have been invited to take part, and the interdisciplinary contributions offered during these encounters will support the development of the artists’ work. This, the third artist residency, Nature, will be held at the Villa Parco Bolasco – University of Padua, a prestigious venue in Castelfranco Veneto, and will open at the same time as the second OMNEFEST, a gathering dedicated to photography and the discovery of the landscape.
The workshop is oriented towards photographers who have an interest in developing a personal project. Their aim is to explore the concept of nature, starting from the observation of the landscape in the Veneto regions. Interpreting the many forms in which nature reveals itself, and the relationships that derive from it, through our perception of the environment that surrounds us: this opens reflection on the contemporary landscape, its potential but also its critical aspects.The workshop has as its field of investigation an area of flat land around Castelfranco Veneto, Giorgione’s city of birth, and the neighbouring countryside all the way down towards Padua. Interest in a large part of the Po Valley comes from the presence – in this context – of two special places dedicated to nature, the Villa Parco Bolasco and the Padua Botanical Gardens, heritage of the patavian University. The workshop will be held by the American photographers Mark Steinmetz and Irina Rozovsky, assisted by a group of teachers.
DOWNLOAD THE CALLThis year, on the occasion of the launch of the Transitions project, OMNE is pleased to share and curate the artist residency program and the workshop held by Mark Steinmetz and Irina Rozovsky in Lecce.
The program takes place in synergy with the activities proposed by OMNE in Castelfranco Veneto.
