Led by artist Melanie Manchot

Saturday 7 June 2008, 10.30–13.30
Saturday 21 June 2008, 10.30–13.30

The workshop lead by artist Melanie Manchot explores the ambiguous opposition of street and studio-based photography in the light of the last fifteen years’ conceptual development of the medium.

Ideas such as the documentary nature of images, observed versus staged and making versus taking will be reflected upon and put into practice during the two sessions.

Manchot's work in photography and video investigates these concerns within the image as staged documentary, exposing an area that exists
at the threshold between real life and constructed situations.
