Exposing Movement | the book [2017]
Emerged from the desire of a group of visual artists to explore new forms of expression through technical means from the 19th and 20th centuries, Exposing Movement brought together a mixed team of artists who explored analogue photography techniques in connection to body movement and intervention techniques. The project is centered on black and white silver-based (analogue) photography, experimenting with different types of exposure in relation to the act and dynamics of movement; also, experimenting with ways of intervention into the analogue printing process.
The book is the result of all the notes, sketches and texts gathered during the research lab, structured on themes and presented as a practice guide for future explorers. Included in the book are testimonials of the 7 artists involved in the creative process and a selection of the prints made during the working sessions.
