Artistic Strategies

In this workshop, participants immerse themselves in the exhibition Close Enough to learn from the diverse photographic approaches of the artists presented. Through guided discussions, image analysis, and practical exercises, they engage intensively with stylistic devices, techniques, and concepts.

The participants will each select a photographer, draw inspiration from her working methods, and consciously transfer individual elements to their own photographic practice. The aim is to explore new creative paths, leave one's comfort zone, and further develop one's personal style. The participants reflect together on their own work and the photos taken during the workshop. The result is a broader understanding of photographic forms of expression and concrete inspiration for their own creative work.
