Workshop: Doroth\u00e9e Smith – The invisible side of things<\/h2>\n

From 8 to 13 July 2013, at the international photography festival Les Rencontres d’Arles Photographie in the south of France. The workshop is bilingual English – French.<\/p>\n

\"\"Participants will experiment with different technical and aesthetic decisions each day in order to create a personal series.<\/p>\n

Doroth\u00e9e Smith intends to focus on an abstract theme so that everyone has to invent and find solutions in pictorial language.<\/p>\n

It involves somehow making an idea or a mental concept perceptible, almost tangible; revealing through photography (or video) what is, in principle, invisible. The themes will be defined according to people’s choice or their questions. There are any number of possibilities: they could include, for example, notions of absence, obsession, identity, soul, ghosts, haunting, and so on.<\/p>\n

The work might require staging, or simply involve a sampling of reality, with particular attention to the surroundings and unique atmosphere of the city of Arles, and careful definition of the means used to create the images. It will provide an opportunity to make decisions about technical matters, and the different ways a subject can be treated.<\/p>\n

According to their experience, participants can combine video, slide shows, sound effects, and so on, with a conventional photographic approach.<\/p>\n

The workshop will also involve plenty of thinking and discussion, particularly about the ideas of authors from disciplines as varied as cinema, philosophy, literature and even dance \u2013 all areas that can provide ideas, solutions, and even fresh questions to stimulate people’s projects.<\/p>\n

Doroth\u00e9e Smith<\/h2>\n

Her career has included a post-graduate degree in Philosophy at the Sorbonne, a degree from the French \u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure de la photographie (ENSP), the TAIK in Helsinki and then at Le Fresnoy, France. Her work can be seen as an observation of constructions, deconstructions, displacements, and transformations of identity. Photography here rubs shoulders with video, hybrid art and the use of new technologies, and has led to collaboration with a research team from the CNRS\/IRCICA (French National Centre for Scientific Research) in 2012. Her work has been exhibited at, amongst other places, Les Filles du Calvaire, Paris; Ch\u00e2teau d’Eau, Toulouse; Atelier de Visu, Marseille; and Casino, Luxembourg \u2013 as well as at photography festivals such as Photo Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Pingyao, China and the Daegu Biennale, South Korea, and Les Rencontres d\u2019Arles in 2012. Doroth\u00e9e Smith is a member of the \u2018L’\u00c9vad\u00e9e\u2019 collective and the Hans Lucas Studio de Cr\u00e9ation. Her work is represented by the gallery Les Filles du Calvaire, Paris.<\/p>\n
