Photography without a camera - how is that possible? In addition to classic photography with a camera, there is also camera-less photographic art - in the darkroom, using only an enlarger and photographic paper. Objects are placed on light-sensitive photographic paper and exposed for a few seconds.
The development is the same as for a normal photo, but the result is completely different. The images, known as "photograms," develop their own unique charm in black and white and fine shades of gray. Many famous photographers such as Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy and Marta Hoepffner have created visual masterpieces with this technique.
In this workshop, the participants will try out everything about this unusual image production. They can bring their own objects such as leaves, feathers, transparencies or figures. At the end of the workshop, the photo artists will create their first camera-less photograph, a unique artistic piece from the photographic Wunderkammer.
