Reflektor – Instant/Fading

/in /by

Reflektor, Weisestrasse 27. Reflektor Neukölln is a collective of artists, creatives and neighbors. The collective’s works are based in the field of performance art and social sculpture. The exhibition Instant/Fading is curated by Daniel Wetzel, photographer and member of Reflektor and Thomas Ming-Hui Stanka from the analogueNOW! Team.

Daniel Wetzel

Instant/Fading presents the works of three photographers and artists working with instant photography. Antonia Gruber, Kyriakos Tarassidis and Daniel Wetzel.

Though sharing a common base material – instant film – the outcome, concepts and images conveyed by these artists, truly represent the medium’s diversity. A common theme of vulnerability and fluidity of images, identities and moments, is what draws these three positions together.

With monthly art exhibitions and artistic crafted and delicious pastries, cakes and pies, 180° Café is a must visit destination for foodies and art lovers.

The analogue photo group of the Weiße Rose Cultural Center has taken the theme “Slightly Out Of Focus” in 2021. As every year, the group participants have the opportunity to freely interpret the respective theme and create their own concept. Due to the restrictions in 2020-2022, the exhibition will now be shown a second time.

The photographers were inspired by a variety of sources, Robert Capa’s “Slightly Out Of Focus” was a major influence. Aswell as reflections from their own everyday lives, relationships and identities can be found in works of the photo group.

Elisa Cavaciocchi, Freya Gerz, Deborah Kogan, Fidelis Nonnenbroich, Tijana Mirjacic

About the group:
„As the Weißen Rose Photography Group, we share not only a darkroom and photo lab, but also ideas and inspiration. Through our common passion, we are continuously expanding our knowledge of photographic techniques, film dev and printing. But we have also been able to share music and films with each other during our many evenings in the lab. Regular visits to vernissages and workshops are also part of our program. Since 2023 we now have our own studio in the same building, which completes the photography process from taking pictures to developing and darkroom printing.

If you are interested in analogue photography and everything that goes with it, you are welcome to join our weekly group meetings.

You can reach us via email: fotogruppe@die-weisse-rose.de We look forward to seeing you! (Contact persons: Deborah Kogan and Freya Gerz)

pinhole camera build and take photos

/in /by

Instructor: Markus Kaesler •
Date / Time: Friday and Sunday 02.+04.06.2023 um 10am-4pm •
Location: festival location, workshop room •
Number of participants: max 6 •
costs p.person: 240€ / 192€* (two days) •

The workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the large-format world of lens-free photography and who has always wanted to build their own pinhole camera out of wood. The two-day workshop is intended to lay the foundations for discovering the creative potential of pinhole photography.

The course participants learn to work with their self-made 4×5″ camera and thus get a tool at hand with which they can also deal with the technology in the long term.

On the first day, the different possibilities of creating images with this minimalist recording technique will be highlighted and pinhole cameras made of wood with a tripod thread for the use of 4×5″ sheet film cassettes will be built.

On the second day, the focus is on taking photos with these self-made cameras. After a brief introduction to b/w paper processing, exposed paper negatives can be developed and contact copies can be used to create positives.

Participants should bring a 4×5″ sheet film cassette, a tripod and an exposure meter (or app).

(*) Reduction is possible for the severely disabled, pupils, vocational school students, students, trainees, pensioners, the unemployed, BFDler and FKJler
