About the workshop
Santorini
Temps Mort— Exploring a slow, serial aesthetic.
This 5-day workshop will explore the formidable relationship between images and the emotive energy generated by the compounding of pictures that can inform a serial sequence. A sequence may align a narrative or non-narrative series of images to generate feeling in ways that defy reason.
We’ll be relying on intuitive resonance to connect with us deeply and intimately, invoking emotions beyond our conscious understanding. Through the restrained pacing of pictures, we’ll be encouraged to slow down, to linger in a space of related or repetitive imagery, to convey a sense of inexhaustible wonder, curiosity, astonishment, and the sensations sparked by this form immersion.
On a practical level, working this way will require participants to bring an expanded archive of images they might currently be exploring for either book or exhibition.
Participants will bring postcard sized prints for use in our workshop. Additionally, that you have access to “outliers” that can be stored as digital files on cloud services or portable drives.
We will be seeking methods to narrow the scope and dependence on subject-matter—to be less reliant on content and shift toward an exploration on the use of form to inspire a provocative space for the viewer, as well as space for introspection and contemplation.
With this practice as our foundation, we will widen to consider the elements of book design, sequencing and image layout. Additionally, up to 2 hours per day can be spent outside in our glorious setting, observing intimately and making pictures.
