Description
LEARN ABOUT PINHOLE CAMERAS!
Even Aristotle, back in the age of the Ancient Greeks, knew the principle. Light falls through a small hole into a darkened space, creating an upside-down image of the outdoor area. Magical! It occupied artists and scholars for centuries and eventually led to photography.
In this workshop you will learn how to build your own pinhole camera (also called a camera obscura), which you can design however you like. We will then capture images of our surroundings and experiment with them.
The workshop will be run by Chilean artist and photographer Constanza Meléndez. Her work focuses on individuals and their social context and uses the genre of portrait photography as part of her artistic practice. You can create portraits with the pinhole camera!
