In DOKA in the OK, the Mirror Room transforms into a darkroom. During the workshop, inspired by the work of Minne Kersten, you’ll discover how images can emerge without a camera.
Under the guidance of analogue photographer Rogier Alleblas, you’ll create photograms. You place objects – for example a leaf, a key or a piece of fabric – on light-sensitive photographic paper. By exposing it to light and then developing it in the darkroom, an imprint appears of the shapes that blocked the light. During the workshop, you’ll also learn how to make pinhole photographs – images made with a homemade camera without a lens, using only a tiny hole through which light enters. This produces mysterious, soft images.
Let yourself be surprised by what light reveals – and what it conceals.
