Workshops
10/04/2010 - 01/02/2011
The Invention of the RealPhotography can provide us with more than just the confirmation of what we already knew. Of course, the temptation is great just to opt for a stable view of the world. That provides a clear sense of order and everything looks so beautiful. A false reality, blocking out the intentions and emotions of the photographer, who wants to provide us with a possible key to help us orient ourselves in this labyrinth of the world.
The unique possibilities presented by the medium of photography are comprised precisely of this dialogue with the outside world and the ability to continually question the perception of it according to one’s criteria, in order to expose it, transform it into a visual experiment. The key to the quest for order in photography, involving the interplay of bodies, objects, signs and spaces transforming them to a legible structure, to a comprehensible composition, is not to lose sight of chaos. It is precisely this chaos that gives photography its unlimited liveliness.
In this workshop we want to elaborate these kind of visual experiments for discovering personal aspects of our everyday life. All technical possibilities for creating complex visions of the relations between ourselves and the people and things surrounding us are appreciated: collages, montages, picture combinations, reflections, tableaux, series of photographs etc.
The main interest is to find principles for the interaction of our photographic images that are allowing us more than one interpretation of the depicted.
Every photographic series ia a new invention of reality.

seminar fee €1080,00
