What is Mono Orbit?

Mono Orbit is an independent curatorial platform focused on photography and design. It brings together selected projects, competitions, exhibitions, opportunities and resources within a deliberately minimal structure.

What does Mono Orbit focus on?

Mono Orbit is divided into two editorial areas: MONO ORBIT / DESIGN and MONO ORBIT / PHOTOGRAPHY. Each follows its own direction while contributing to the same platform.

What is MONO ORBIT / DESIGN?

MONO ORBIT / DESIGN explores selected areas of contemporary design, including furniture, objects, interiors, architecture, materials and related practices.

What is MONO ORBIT / PHOTOGRAPHY?

MONO ORBIT / PHOTOGRAPHY focuses on selected photographic practices, with particular interest in the built environment, architecture, documentary and contemporary photography.

How does Mono Orbit select what it publishes?

Mono Orbit is based on selection rather than volume. We look for work, initiatives and opportunities that are relevant, distinctive and worth returning to beyond the immediate moment.

Can I submit something to Mono Orbit?

Yes. Photographers, designers, organisations and other relevant initiatives may suggest work, exhibitions, competitions, open calls or opportunities for consideration. Submission does not guarantee publication.

What is the Directory?

The Directory is a curated selection of competitions, opportunities and other relevant initiatives across photography and design. It is designed as a useful reference rather than a comprehensive listing.

Can I suggest something for the Directory?

Yes. Relevant competitions, exhibitions, open calls and opportunities can be submitted for consideration.

Does Mono Orbit organise its own awards?

Yes. Mono Orbit is connected with Mono Orbit Awards and Evi Mono Awards, two independent award programmes developed within the wider Mono Orbit platform.

Where is Mono Orbit based?

Mono Orbit operates between Dublin, Warsaw and Helsinki, bringing together two editorial perspectives across photography and design.
