Weekendseminar
My seminar deals with contemporary documentary photography. A self-selected or assigned topic will be processed. Basis can be an interesting thesis or a text. To begin the process, the question of whether and why something is an issue, will be viewed from several perspectives. The goal is to leave the beaten path in applied work and to expand their own imagery. At the end of of the year every participant has created an intense, personal and surprising work. Individual access conveyed his personal attitude toward the subject. Concluding the seminar, the works will be presented as possible in an exhibition or publication – the idea about which is the correct form of presentation, is part of the seminar.
