Setting the Stage: Photography as Object and Prop
site-specific workshop hosted by Felicity Hammond.
The residency took the indeterminate architecture of Lusuolo castle in Tuscany as its starting point: a building that has historically been deconstructed and reconstruted, dismantled, rebuilt. Using the sculptural capabilities of photographic materials, I’ve worked together with other 8 artists to create an installation that responded to this unique architecture and its malleable form. We considered the use of the photograph as a prop or backdrop, taking cues from the way in which castles have been used within theatre production throughout history. During the workshop, we collectively built an installation using materials that responds to this unique site. The final artwork was a temporary installation sited within the castle, made from photographic materials and objects.
