WATERGRAMS

Watergrams are snapshots of water in motion that are captured on film or photographic paper. After a short theoretical and practical introduction, we will travel together to the banks of the Danube after dusk. There we will capture the waves of the Danube on the film material and process the exposed material on site with eco-developers. After the trip back together, the material will be viewed at filmkoop wien. The aim of the workshop is to experience the technique of watergrams and the associated photochemical process as close to nature as possible. Please bring weatherproof clothing and rubber boots if possible.
