Lecture: Slow Händwörk in de Atteljäh änd in de Dunkälkammer

/in /by

Lecturer: Antje Kröger
Date Time:
Location: festival site

Oh three hearts beat between my breasts. Heart No ONE: The Storytelling, Heart No TWO: The Light and Composition Crazy, Heart No THREE: The Craftsmanship.


Aesthetics that reach into a time that was even slower – I always try to create this in my pictures. When slow living was not just a phrase for reflection and inner contemplation, but an inevitability of every life. My work is a slow process anyway. It takes time to feel the person in front of the camera. This time also gets the craft, my third heart. Slow handwork in the Atteljäh änd in the darkroom! Each sputum is an artifact, marked by cracks, shadows and blurs. Imponderables that take the control away from the creator of the picture, but in return the result is flawed in the untrained and unfree eye, but gives the wide field of vision freedom of interpretation and attraction.
The material requires similar attention as subject, composition and light. Balancing all of this is a slow learning process in which patience and commitment to the process of creation can create a multi-sound that resonates longer. The allure of the rugged, the twists and turns that can only be influenced to a limited extent, the questions of the ambiguous. Bringing ambiguities to light is what I would like to devote myself to with my analog photography.

Subjects:

Why master the analogue craft?
Why improvisation promotes a leap in quality?
What role do coincidence, decay and time play?
Where do all the materials come from & are the costs for analogue photography still affordable for artists?
What does long-suffering, waiting and learning feel like?
What do mistakes, mishaps & unpredictability mean?
How harmful are chemicals to me and my environment?
Why is there ever a fire in the large format camera?
Why is it worth lugging around analog technology when the best camera is said to be the one you always have with you?
What are analogue/digital remixes?

“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.

pinhole camera build and take photos

Instructor: Markus Kaesler •
Date / Time: Friday and Sunday 02.+04.06.2023 um 10am-4pm •

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).
