The Constructed Image: Workshop with Ulrike Veith
Take a look inside Ulrike Veith’s archive as she demonstrates how she creates her constructed images. Bring your own sentimental objects to create a constructed image inspired by Veith’s process!
This workshop will give an introduction to some of the techniques used historically to construct narrative photographic images. Veith will talk about her approach to constructing images and the technical tools she utilizes.
She will discuss questions such as: how does a surrealistic approach ask viewers to suspend their disbelief, freeing the artist from the intention of creating dissonance/“Verfremdungseffekt” (Berthold Brecht)? What role is played by colour the effect of Chromophobia in Western culture? How does lighting and mood influence how an image is read? What are culturally negotiated symbolic meanings of objects? What is the role of experimenting and randomness in the process of juxtaposing objects? How does Photoshop increase the artist’s range in aesthetic choices, tools, etc.? How can you use scanning or a light table while composing an image? How do you play between co-incidence and control while communicating a clear topic in your work?
Using her archive, Veith will demonstrate her process using photos, scans, and editing techniques in photoshop. She will also discuss how she plans, creates, and refines her final constructed images.
Please bring: a shoe box, 10-20 personal objects/copies of photos, and your cell phone.
This workshop is FREE for PAVED Arts members and $20 for non-members.
