SITE-SPECIFIC PLANT DEVELOPER

SEPTEMBER 27 & 28 / 10 AM - 2 PM

Natural processes in photochemical film-making are around since the very beginnings of photography. Reminding of magic or alchemy it opens a different area of film processing enchanting makers with its relative simplicity, accessibility and harmlessness. Let's discuss ecology and eco-logics within film processing! We will unveil the principles of photochemical processes, investigate into sustainable developing strategies, explore our shared habitat and put hands-on ecoprocessing with ingredients from parks, gardens, pharmacy or grocery avoiding ecologically problematic substances as much as possible. We focus on non-ascrobic film developers. Is Vitamine C problematic? Oh, yes, let’s talk about it!

Since 2013 Alexandra Moralesová and Georgy Bagdasarov form a filming and experimenting duo Labodoble which is also an artistic and curatorial platform. They mainly focus on sustainable and eco-logical photo-chemical processes questioning the eco logic itself. They like to challenge media and to reshape the relation of machine-operator into machine-performer. They merge technical skills with media theory and philosophy. They do films, performances, installations and workshops.
