Can mobile photography enhance or re-frame your experience of the museum? Is a selfie just selfish, or can it share with others something that you think and feel about art?
Oliver Lang invites you into the brand new Tate Modern and its opening collection. Interact with sculptures, installations and architecture across a number of guided mobile photography activities, taking place in the gallery after hours. Through photographic interpretations develop your own artistic and performative responses to the building and its art.
The mobile phone is unlike any other camera in history, with new apps provide creative and communicative possibilities for you to unlock artworks instead of just capturing them. This four-week course is for people interested in exploring and sharing their mobile photography.
