11 10 #4 Blow Up by Julian Brües & Simon Oberhofer We experience our lives in images we look at, take, send. Everyone can take pictures and does so at an ever increasing pace. While seemingly being a representation of our surrounding reality, every snap we take is manipulated in an incomprehensible number of steps already. Anytime as a snapshot, as a direct representation of what one’s life is supposed to be. Reflecting back it presents us with our best possible selfportrayal. Almost as if we are strangers in our own existence. In our workshop we aim to make these alienations visible, dissect them and employ them in a more direct thus understandable way. We are going to employ basic photographic processes and explore the origins of imagemaking. Divided into small groups, students will find out what manipulation can do. Is it abstraction? Is it zooming in? Is it reduction? We deal with the production of images. We make images. We change images. The motifs and contents of the works are determined and developed individually by the individual groups during the week.
