Summer Break Special: Fake It till You Make It

How do images bait or beguile us as they circulate online? How do they compel, capture or control us? Inspired by a group visit to the exhibition The Lure of the Image at C/O Berlin, participants reflect on how images capture our attention. Afterward, they conduct their own research and collect images from the internet, which they then question or supplement with their own photographic responses gathered during strolls through the city. This creates new contexts and connections, which are designed into a personalized photo zine in InDesign and can be taken home. No prior experience is required.
