The projection of an image is significantly determined by its carrier. Materiality and properties of possible image carriers are discussed in light of the ideas and artistic projects of the students. For this, we work with a light-sensitive liquid whose properties make it especially versatile for analogue photography. Which material is suitable for this particular image / this special photography?… 2025W, Vorlesung und Übungen, 2.0 ECTS

Territory: Photographic Narratives on Space and Identity In this course, we will explore the topic of landscape—its photographic representation, potential appropriation, and artistic interpretation. Together, we will engage with the following questions: What makes a landscape beautiful—or not beautiful? What role does landscape play in the contemporary geopolitical context? Why is landscape even considered a subject worth depicting? What does… 2025W, Vorlesung und Übungen, 2.0 ECTS

As constant evolution drives both the production and consumption of new electronic devices, mountains of so-called “e-waste” are growing at the same rate. What some might consider obsolete technology or even trash has the potential to be an artistic playground full of nostalgia and free resources.
