Course contents:

This studio is built on two elements: the experience of the students with depicting figures and portraits and on the spontaneous need for free creative experimentation. This the the foundation on which contact and the link to a discussions among students and the studio lead will be built. At the master's study level the studio provides artistic space for student working across genres and creating a comprehensive photographic expression spectrum. This removes the boundaries between graphic, documentary, multi-media and other forms of image communications. Therefore communication itself will be accentuated.

In this „Autonomous Studio“ individual semester exercises are completed according to the studio lead. These exercises are not unchangeable but, however, react to the „spiritof the particular time“. Emphasis is placed on the thought basis, sensibility and individual creative stance of each student which in interaction and discussion with the instructor, flows into a creative output.

The studio lead invites workshop instructors, photography, film and graphic arts figures according to studio lead's choice. This a semester or year workshop according to the instructor's schedule. The purose is a confronting of students with the wide spectrum of individuals who present their creative experience, perspective, stance, espirit, to the participating students.
