Body and Space

Project Leads: Ricarda Wolf, Sari Räthel

Project Outline: This 3-day workshop explores the notion of the body and its surroundings through body manipulation and objects connecting bodies and spaces. Inspired by a quote students are invited to work in pairs from image research, experimenting with materials around their bodies, to building body-related props.

How does the body interact with materials, how can they connect the body with its surroundings? The outcomes will be photographed on day 3 by fashion photographer Eliška Kyselková, where each group gets the chance to set up their installation and get it captured in a photoshoot.
