Serena: A Walk-In Pinhole Camera and Light-Painting Workshop

Serena invites participants to step into an intimate “light lab” to explore the world outside through the perspective of one’s inner self, as this becomes material for painting with light.

A slow, ancient process that pioneered all modes of contemporary photography, now framed in a context of collaborative participation, and attempt at broadening its conventional limits. Experiencing the “magic” of how a simple pinhole can project a living, upside-down image into a darkened space, as well as all the abstract, unseen subtleties of this phenomena will serve as a starting point for understanding one’s intention and connection with Light. Guided through a basic analogue development process, each person turns one of these moments into a black-and-white “light painting”, and leaves with a new understanding of how images are born from the most elementary physics of light.
