How do different places make us feel and behave?
In this workshop, Participants discovered archives to use as a medium in experimental film for self expression. Memories of a Place offered an understanding of curation and working with archival and found footage as a method for exploration, and artistic investigation. The key themes we explored by using archives were psychogeography, vernacular photography, and the term site-specific all key themes that present themselves in Adrienne’s work. Through a combination of theory and practice, participants learned how to develop and mature their ideas. At the end of this three week workshop, participants ended with a collaborative experimental film that focused on the methods of psychogeography and vernacular photography.
