/ Editing / Sequencing / Testing /
/ Finding the best way to tell your story /
/ Making a simple pre-dummy /
The aim with this workshop is to guide your ongoing project towards becoming a photobook. The workshop will be based on group feedback and 1:1 teaching. During four intense evenings it will be all about the book as an object, narrative, editing, testing,sequencing, and flow. We will have open dialogues about how the book promotes the history of the content. What do you want to tell? We will talk about layout and materiality. We will also briefly look into other photobooks and artist books for inspiration on content, material, and binding.
At the end of the workshop, we will make the content for the first pre-dummy in a simple form.
The workshop is process-orientated – it will be more about the journey than finalising a photobook.
Your project can consist of a diversity of mediums and forms but is based in photography.
Everybody who has been working on a project for a while can participate – all are welcome, no matter how experienced you are!
The workshop will be held in English,
but both mentors also speak all the Scandinavian languages.
What to bring:
Ca. 40 images printed in ca. 10x15cm
Texts, sketches, thoughts, and inspirations relevant for your project/book…
Computer/hard drive with Powerpoint/Keynote
You will have to access a printer during the workshop – either if you have one at home, or at a print house.
