In this workshop, based on the work Goodbye Berlin (2024), the participant-e-x-s will use the environment both as a set of references regarding perspective, texture, and light, and as a recognizable public space, carrying collective and individual memories. The representation of a fictional and individual object will be placed in the décor as a way of infiltrating our reality. We will face the challenge of combining two source images into one, adjusting lighting, tone, or perspective to achieve a credible narrative.
Through this process, we will work on creating an "elephant in the room." The workshop will thus cross various contexts of public space and landscape, various painting contexts (outdoor landscape painting, performance documentation, painting for camera, painting on social media), as well as various conceptual and technical contexts related to the chosen objects and their placement.
The evaluation is based on participation in the five days of the workshop and on the degree of active engagement of the student.
