How to get it closer?
This workshop welcomes artists and creators with a background in photography and other media.
We will explore the relationship between nature, the body, material and emotion, working both individually and collectively. We will experiment with the connections between photography and different forms of making. Drawing, video, writing, installation and other approaches are all welcome. Bring your own knowledge, experience and ways of working. Authentic continuity is key. The scale and physical presence of the landscape can be impressive, rough, uncomfortable or difficult to approach — but this tension is precisely where the work can begin.
The black and red rocks of Santorini provide a challenging environment that is difficult to encounter in an urban context. The raw, brutal reality of the volcanic landscape asks us to look, think and act differently — to respond to what is there, to make proposals, to improvise, and to create something unexpected.
Our collaboration will be based on an honest approach to ourselves and to others, through daily face-to-face consultations, open-air assignments, individual and group experiments, presentations and community cooking.

Peter Puklus
Peter Puklus is an artist based in Budapest, Hungary. He studied photography at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) in Budapoest and new media design at École National Supérieur de Création Industriel (ENSCI) in Paris. He has given lectures and workshops at international art institutions, and his works have been exhibited in Brussels, Budapest, Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Warsaw. Puklus has published three photobooks, including The Epic Love Story of a Warrior (2016), which was shortlisted for the Aperture/Paris Photo Photobook Award. His project “The Hero Mother – How to Build a House” won the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2017–2018 and was published as an artist book in 2021.
While his practice is rooted in photography, Peter has expanded into sculpture, painting, installation, and video, using these media to create intricate narratives. Recent exhibitions such as “I’ve Been Lying My Whole Life” (Ferenczy Múzeumi Centrum, Szentendre) and “My Language Is Not Silence” (Glassyard Gallery, Budapest) reflect his diverse artistic exploration, blending oil paintings, tufted rugs, wooden installations, and photography. He is represented by Glassyard Gallery (Budapest), Robert Morat Gallery (Berlin), and Klotz Shows (Bruxelles).
