Snapshots – fleeting encounters with photography

09. August 2009, 09:00 - 15:00

Workshop

Making transience visible and tangible – that is the aim of the “Snapshots” project, which takes place on the last day of the Isa Rosenberger / Nira Pereg exhibition in the seminar room of the Edith Russ House for Media Art.

For one day, interested people have the opportunity to write history photographically and watch it fade away. With the help of a simple but all the more effective technique, participants can encounter themselves and others within photographs. Beamer projections enable a playful examination of the fleeting nature of the moment. Everyone can “take a stand” on the previous photographs. Visitors will be accompanied by Johanna Hemp and Wilma Scheschonk, bachelor students of Material Culture: Textiles, who developed the project idea based on the current exhibition. Isa Rosenberger, one of the media artists currently exhibiting, explores the constant change of meaning that monuments are subject to in her artistic works. “Snapshots” is also to be understood as a commentary on the medium of photography as a monument. As active participation is essential for the success of the project, we cordially invite you to become part of the artistic-educational work. Participation is free of charge.
