Throughout the United States, Latin America and Europe, a new suburban phenomenon is taking root: gated communities. Walls and gates, surveillance cameras, security guards and gatehouses are the new urban landmarks distinguishing these suburban residential spaces from earlier forms. Urbanité / périphérie / habitat questions the inscription of the body within urban and suburban realities. It examines the way in which the body influences, redefines or simply experiences its environment. For the second season of the UPH event, Galérie Verticale, in partnership with Vidéographe, invites modern-art videomakers to submit portfolios on the theme of Gated Communities.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2006
