World explorer . On the trail of structures

With a detective's eye on the immediate environment, the participants are invited to develop their own biotope and invent an organism, a dream world, an alternative to reality. They explore the environment and nature with the camera and create their own photographic collection in order to let something new emerge from it.The collection can consist of patterns and structures or details from technical, architectural, organic or fantastic discoveries.

In order to let their own inventions grow, the found image worlds serve as material for collages, can be overdrawn or even transformed into three-dimensional objects. The researchers are inspired by the exhibition Image Ecology at C/O Berlin in the Amerika Haus.

All inventions can be taken home after the workshop and the self-filled fund can of course be used for further research.
