Description
INDIVIDUAL TIME CAPSULE
Can you pack your own era into a cardboard box? Andy Warhol filled almost 600 such boxes with a wide variety of things. These included personal memories such as letters, drawings by artist friends, but also everyday objects such as ties, watches and records. How would you go about immortalizing your time and your surroundings? What are the defining aspects of the here and now?
Let’s start a conversation together. What would you like to collect? What will not be selected? What role does chance play? Create a design for your own time capsule! Collect personal objects, memories and reflect on topics such as fashion, music, society, technology and much more. Create a photographic inventory of three important things that you always have with you. You can add texts, drawings and research from the internet. At the end, you will create an individual booklet bearing the today’s date.
The workshop will take place in the ticket-free area of the Factory space (lower level) and is run by the photographer Verena Hägler. She studied photography at the Zurich University of the Arts and works as a freelance photographer at the interface of documentary, conceptual and subjective photography. She has long been involved in empirical urban research and recently published RAND (Spector Books, 2022). She teaches at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and elsewhere.
