Join artist-in-residence David Samuel Stern for a hands-on workshop exploring the fundamentals of pinhole photography — one of the earliest and most elemental forms of image-making.
Together, we will learn how a pinhole camera works and look at examples of this uniquely atmospheric medium. Each participant will then build their own camera from simple materials, load it with photographic paper, and venture outdoors to create long-exposure images in the dim Arctic light of the dark season.
Back inside, we’ll develop the negatives in a makeshift darkroom and reflect on the results — discovering how light, time, and place imprint themselves onto the surface of the image.
When: Saturday 8 November, 10:30 - 13:30
Where: Artica Svalbard, vei 608-3 (next door to the fire station)
Participants: 10 places available
