About this Event
Workshop Description 工作坊簡介
When everyday objects are stripped of their functional roles, light and shadow become their new language. Centred on the cyanotype process, this workshop invites you to place ordinary items, from keys, cutlery, and toothbrushes to translucent packaging, under UV light. Through ultraviolet catalysis and the rich oxidation of Prussian blue, we will break away from conventional perceptions of daily objects, reassembling mundane silhouettes into poetic, abstract compositions. No prior photography experience is required, simply bring your curiosity and everyday objects.
*You will make one bookmark and one A4 piece after completing the workshop.
當日用品脫離原本的功能，光影便成為它全新的語言。本工作坊以藍曬為媒介，邀請你將身邊的日常物件，從鑰匙、刀叉、牙刷到透明包裝，透過紫外光的催化與普魯士藍的固化，打破對物件的既定認知，將平凡的日常線條重組成具詩意與抽象美的藍晒光影。無需任何攝影基礎，只需帶來你的好奇心與物件。
*你將會親自製作一張藍曬書籤及一張 A4 製成品。
