To celebrate the exhibition Harry Gruyaert: Retrospective, CAMERA is delighted to present the masterclass The Geometry of Colour with Harry Gruyaert.

 

Taking part in this programme means entering the visual universe of one of the leading figures in contemporary photography and a key figure in the establishment of colour as an expressive language. Guided directly by the artist himself, participants will be involved in the development and realisation of a personal photographic project.

The masterclass offers a unique opportunity to engage with Harry Gruyaert’s perspective, providing tools and inspiration to deepen one’s own artistic exploration and develop a more conscious and authorial approach to photography, thereby transforming the way one observes and interprets reality.

Under his direct guidance, each participant will work on developing and realising their own photographic project. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with the perspective of a key figure in the revolution of contemporary photography, refining one’s own artistic vision and radically transforming the way one views reality.

Let’s Draw Art is back – the Abbonamento Musei event designed to entertain young artists with pencils and markers, which this year are provided by the historic company CARIOCA. Children up to age 12 play, learn, and have fun with the works in the exhibitions and museum collections, interacting with art in dedicated workshops.

 

On Sunday, April 19, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm, CAMERA will host the event Concrete or Abstract?, where children will be invited to observe Edward Weston’s photographs from different perspectives, giving free rein to their imagination.

From a distance, it’s a desert, but up close it looks like a drawing; from a distance, it’s an artichoke, but up close the leaves become lines; from a distance it’s a seashell, but up close it’s a collection of curves. Edward Weston had a superpower: he could transform real things into shapes and signs, as if they were abstract drawings. Shall we try to decipher his most mysterious images?

 

At the end of the activity, a snack will be provided by Biraghi.

 

Let’s Draw Art costs €5 per child, while an accompanying adult is eligible for a reduced-price ticket (€10).

New Documentary Practices – FUTURES 2025 is an educational programme on photography and contemporary imagery that will be held at CAMERA from 2 to 5 December 2025, for young artists, curators and people interested in photography and visual languages.

The project offers two workshops held by masters of international contemporary photography Oliver Frank Chanarin (1971) and Lorenzo Vitturi (1980).

 

The New Documentary Practices format aims to increase participants’ professional skills and network in the field of photography and contemporary imagery, as well as to broaden the active participation of various types of audiences in contemporary culture through a structured programme.

The two workshops will focus on innovative uses of photographic language, aimed at creating new stories and imagery that challenge traditional approaches to the documentary genre and invent new criteria for questioning reality.

 

WORKSHOPS
Love the sinner, hate the sin by Oliver Frank Chanarin
Each participant will work closely with the artist to combine photographs, words and computer codes. The workshop will examine the different ways in which the production and circulation of images have been radically transformed in the digital age, giving rise to the reuse and recombination of self-produced images, found images and archive photographs to create a new collective mechanical work that will be exhibited at the end of the workshop.

Between photography and sculpture by Lorenzo Vitturi
Together with Lorenzo Vitturi, students will be involved in a multidisciplinary process that challenges the two-dimensionality of photography to embrace a hybridisation of photography and sculpture. Each participant will be accompanied on urban walks and encouraged to experiment using materials collected during these explorations. By assembling these elements into sculptural forms, workshop participants will then transform their shape and meaning to integrate them into their own personal visual narrative. The final works will reflect this approach, combining visual results with sculptures and ephemeral installations.

 

PROGRAMME
> Tuesday 2 December, from 6pm
Giangavino Pazzola presents curatorial research on New Documentary Strategies in conversation with Marina Caneve

> Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 December, 10.00am-1.00pm + 2.00pm-5.00pm
Workshop with Oliver Frank Chanarin and Lorenzo Vitturi

Talk with Oliver Frank Chanarin, François Hébel, Giangavino Pazzola and Lorenzo Vitturi

WHO IS IT FOR
The programme is directed at young authors who are passionate about photography and art – coming not only from educational backgrounds in Italian and foreign academies of fine arts and photography schools, but also from schools of social sciences, architecture and artistic disciplines – who are interested in exploring the many opportunities offered by storytelling, from the design of fictional and real narratives to the use of photography combined with other media.

There are a maximum of 25 places available for each workshop.
If the number of applications exceeds the number of places available, CAMERA reserves the right to assess the suitability of the profiles and to make any selections at its sole discretion.

 

The activity is part of the programme designed for FUTURES – the international network for the promotion of contemporary photography, of which CAMERA is the reference point in Italy. This line of research allows the Turin-based institution to map the main protagonists of emerging contemporary photography in Europe.
