Workshop in Phytography - Urban Plants
18 Oct - 14:00 · [Children 6+, youngsters and adults]
In this workshop, we explore the relationship between humans – particularly those living in urban environments – and the plants that surround them. By using plants not only as subjects of contemplation, but also as active photographic agents, the activity encourages participants to reflect on all beings that inhabit the city and their perceived "usefulness". Using local plants as the revealing agent for their own images on expired photographic paper, this technique challenges digital formats of image-making while promoting the reuse and revaluation of materials often considered obsolete.
