Pinhole Workshop with Laura Fiorio
www.laurafiorio.com
Laura Fiorio is an italian photographer and visual artist currently based in Berlin. She is founder of Pinhocchio and active in organising events linked to pinhole photography, with particular care on the topics of selfproduction, reuse and recycling.
She studied fine arts and technology media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and interactive media and film at the Middlesex University of London. She works professionaly with architecture and landscape photography, video and film lighting, , as well as in educational projects among others in the woman’s prison
in Berlin.
Her photographic research focuses primarily on the issues of the city and landscape as places in transformation, with an experimental research dedicated
to pinhole photography. She has been leading various workshops and her works have been displayed internationally including Biennale, Palazzo Ducale and Bevilacqua la Masa (Venice) Foundation, Triennale (Milan), Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Alexandria), Rencontres d’Arles, Frames (Glasgow), Onassis Cultural Center (Athens).
The pinhole workshop is based on fun, self production and recycling. No previous knowledges in the field of photography are required. Everyone can discover how photography really works, with no need to buy a camera, but just trying to build an own self-made d-i-y camera with recycled material. Building and playing with the principles of photography helps out understanding them. Creating something unique and personalized in the era of digital and reproduction helps to just stop and think about the meaning of photography itself. After a brief theoretical introduction the workshop will be developed in practical terms: participants will
construct cameras, go outside, shoot, and learn how to develop and fix in the darkroom. The results will be shown in an exhibition wall during the fotomarathon.
Every participant will receive all the material he/she need to participate in the workshop, and all the material for the darkroom:
– Photographic paper
– Acids for the darkroom
– Darkroom tools
– Analogue lightmeter
– Paint and painting tools
– Materials for the construction of the cameras

Make it big -and blue: a life sized Cyanotopie Workshop with Andreas Kesberger

Start: 25.08.2018, 14:00 h
Duration: circa 4 h
Workshop Fee: Couples 79 ,00 €
The Workshop is limited to eight couples.

Content:
Summer, sun, cyano. Photography lives off the sun, and especially over the summer. It is possible to see how the sun develops an image with its power. In this workshop with Andreas Kesberger we will first work based on a black and white negative (please bring your own file) which will be printed and from this, we will create a blue Cyanotopie copy in fabric, in A4 format (22 x 29cm). But the story does not end there.
Make Cyanotypes great again.
We are as big as life. Thanks to a process based on contact, we will project the image to produce a Cyanotopie which will be 75 cm x 2.13m big. We will do this with elements which participants bring themselves, or using our own shadow.
If couples would like to create a couple-portrait, then we can create this in a textile piece which will be 1.5m wide and 2.13 m tall.
It will all be developed in an environmentally sound process, using water. Then, it will just need to be dried, folded and taken home.
