Many photographic processes are expensive and/or quite environmentally unfriendly. That’s why I load the cassettes of my beloved DDR-Mentor large format camera directly with photo paper. This is how I photograph my artistic series, and this is what I will show you at this workshop. In the practical part, each of you will produce your own so-called paper negatives with the large format camera. No paper is
bought new. It comes to me from various sources. The procurement of my materials is the first creative process of my work.

Today you get to be creative together with the group. Photograph your fellow workshop participants. Self-portraits are also possible. Together we load the cassettes in the darkroom with the paper, together we discover the old large format camera. I support you with the individual steps of the photo-artistic process of creation. At the end we go to the darkroom to develop the paper negatives. Because in principle this analog process is an instant photo process. You can then hold your work in your hands and, of course, take them home.” — Antje Kröger

Photo paper has a light-sensitive layer – the emulsion. In this workshop you will learn how to bring the emulsion to an absorbent carrier material and use it like photographic paper after drying. Photographic images will be created on wood, cardboard and fabric. The attractive thing is the interaction of the graphic character of the photograph and the structure and color of the carrier material.

Two colored Cyanotype

Cyanotype is an old analogue photo printing technique developed in 1842. Instead of silver grains – as in the classical black/white-photography – one develops very stable pigments in prussian blue (or berlin blue). Also: one only needs water for the fixation and the chemicals are in most concentrations nontoxic for the environment and yourself.
This course will focus on printing two colored Cyanotypes. You will be able to print your own Photo and experiment with color variants and toning.
Even if you have expeirance in printing Cyanotypes, this course can be very interesting for you.

Filming and tricking with the Bolex on 16mm film

A little experiment and trick, a little Dada! In this year’s film workshop we grab a mechanical Bolex, the camera that has been known worldwide for decades and to this day as a small Swiss army knife by avant-garde filmmakers, as well as by students and passionate amateurs to adventurers far away from civilization. It is so well known because it offers far more possibilities than just filming. Using Dadaist approaches to poetry production, we will come up with ideas for a small short film, which we will then shoot and later develop. We will try to figure out and apply all the little tricks and possibilities of the camera from multiple exposures to time lapse and stretching to double shots and much more. The workshop focuses on experimenting with the camera, exploring its possibilities and those of the medium of film, tricking and playing. And when the film has dried after developing, there is a small screening. The workshop is aimed at beginners as well as advanced users. Filming and developing skills are helpful but not essential.
