Thursday, September 12th
2pm – 6pm
at LaborBerlin
LaborBerlin is excited to welcome back our friend Karel Doing to the garden of PA58 for a day of plants, chemistry and analogue film . . .
Phytography is a technique that makes it possible to create detailed chemical traces of plants directly on photographic emulsion. The process takes place in full daylight and makes use of biodegradable chemistry. During the workshop the artist will explain his technique, placing it in a historical lineage of experimental photography and film while also connecting it to ecological awareness. After this introduction, a hands-on demonstration is provided. Participants can create their own images and see the results in projection.
More on phytography . . .
Karel Doing is an independent artist, filmmaker, and researcher whose practice investigates the relationship between culture and nature by means of analogue and organic process, experiment, and co-creation. His work has been shown worldwide at festivals, in cinemas, on stage, and in galleries. He was a founding member of Studio één, a pioneering DIY film laboratory. He has invented “phytography,” a technique that combines plants and photo-chemical emulsion.
