This studio is built on two starting places: student exprience with depicting figures and portraits, and the spontaneous use of free creative experiment. This is the foundation, on which at the bachelor level, contact and continued dialog between the student and the studio lead is built. In master's study, the studio provides creative space for those working across genres creating an overall photographically expressive spectrum. Here the borders between graphic, documentary, multi-media and other forms of image communication are removed. Therefore the accent is on the communication itself.
In this „autonomous studio“ a single semester exercise is implemented according to assignment by the studio lead. That exercise is not immutable but is to react to the „spirit of the period.“ Emphasis is placed on the thought basis, sensibilities and individual creative attitude of each student which in an interactive dialog with the instructor leads to a creative approach.
The studio lead invites workshop lecturers, figures from photography, film and graphic arts as desired. This workshop is either in a semester or over an entire year according to the schedule determined by the lecturer. The purpose is to confront the student with a wide spectrum of people who present their creative practice experience, their viewpoint, attitude and spirit to the students.
