ART 017 PZ -Eco-Photography

Institution: Pitzer College

Description: Is a “no-waste” photography possible? How might we make images without any cameras, computers, inks, or chemicals? In this course we will explore the limits of photographic materiality through experimentation with natural plant-based emulsions, sun exposure, contact printing, recycled materials, and organic paper making. In order to imagine a “no-waste” photographic future, we will look to the early history of photography, eco-poetics, and eco-feminist theories. Students will be engaged in collaborative studio projects as well as research, reading/discussion, group presentations, and a final group exhibition.
