ONLINE COURSE
Rediscovering Your Forgotten Frames: Using Your Personal Photo Archive to Create New Work
Explore the potential of the perhaps overwhelming number of images in your photo archive: unused pictures from earlier or unfinished projects, or just random photographs you took long ago. Through weekly assignments, you’ll learn to rediscover and repurpose your images by weaving them together with newly created photographs to develop and uncover new stories and emotions in these forgotten frames. We’ll examine the work of artists, photographers, and writers — including Gerhard Richter, JH Engström, and Carmen Winant — who have dwelled in the past to create in the present. By the end of the course, you will have gained new tools to navigate and activate your archive and create meaningful connections with your current personal practice.
