三、主题说明

2019第三届深圳国际摄影大展的主题确立为“城市·呼吸”。该主题继承了前两届将城市作为生命体来观照和呈现的总思路，同时从党的十九大提出的生态文明建设的高度定位城市的功能和发展方向，体现新时代的新气象、新理念和新精神。

“城市·呼吸”有生存、生活和生命、生态两个意义畛域和呈现方向。生存指向城市的物质基础，生活是百姓日常状态，二者都以个体存在为前提，麇集成城市的一般形态；而生命和生态从自然的角度观照城市环境，契合绿色、开放和共享的发展理念，是对城市与人类关系中的生态文明建设的延伸性探索。与城市相关的人物、事件、故事的纪实摄影作品及围绕城市主题创作的艺术摄影作品均可参与投稿。

“City Breath” can be interpreted as two main categories and directions: survival versus life and life versus ecology. Survival points to the material basis of city while life indicates people’s daily life. Both are based on individual existence and form the general state of the whole city. Life and ecology providing insight into urban environment from the perspective of nature and in line with the concept of green, open and shared development is an extended exploration of the ecological civilization construction (the relationship between cities and humans).
