About the session:
Join photographer Dafna Talmor in conversation with the curator of In Between Edges, Tudor Rhys Etchells followed by a slide collaging workshop. In Between Edges is a group show that includes Dafna Talmor’s work Constructed Landscapes. Beginning with her own personal archive of landscape photographs, selecting negatives to create multiple new works, Talmor slices through the negatives to physically remove any recognisable human-made elements, the image becomes free to be considered on its own merit. The conventions of the picturesque landscape are unburdened to allow the viewer to consider the marks in the land not visible but present nonetheless.
PLEASE NOTE: BOOKING IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR THE SLIDE COLLAGING WORKSHOP*
In Conversation: 4pm - 5:30pm
Slide Collaging Workshop: 6:30pm - 9pm
In this hands-on slide collaging workshop, participants are provided with an archive of 35mm found vintage slides and invited to appropriate images by making physical interventions. Tampering with the materiality of the surface by collaging, drawing, scratching or layering fragments of the reconfigured transparencies, participants will re-project the slides and photograph them digitally. Participants will get to keep their one-off collaged slides, as well as digital files of the projected images they produce, so they can be manipulated further beyond the workshop. In dialogue with historical as well as contemporary processes that engage with the materiality of film - from Pictorialism and Modernism to contemporary expanded photographic practice – and the medium of collage, the workshop presents the opportunity to combine analogue and digital processes, experiment with different materials and enables participants to produce work in a short space of time that reflects the mediums’ malleability and versatility in a playful way.
