EULÀLIA VALLDOSERA. ‘DESVELOS’ (wakefulnesses)

The artist Eulalia Valldosera teaches the course "Desvelos" (wakefulnesses), aimed at artists or artistic minded people and those with a creative experience in other areas, preferably in photography. This activity takes place on the occasion of the exhibition "Reproductibilitat 1.0".
"Desvelos" is a theoretical-practical course on the nature of daylight or expansive light versus artificial or projected, contractive and archetypal light, and their behavior in space. It will be studied in this course how to influence with the actors of that space, actors understood anything that occupies space, both real and imagined: objects, people and movement. There will be analyzed the work processes followed in some of the works of Valldosera, its conceptual anchor, enriched by critical and poetic reading of some authors and will be proposed a number of scenic and post-production exercises involving each of the attendees.
This theoretical and practical workshop takes as its starting point the analysis of the latest series of photographs of the artist, Lazos Familiares (2012), it will be reviewed and discussed the hidden mechanics that characterizes her body of work and especially its development through photography.
The artist will exhibit their conceptual tools on a private tour through various languages born under the protection of Philosophy and Psychology, Biology and the Mystic.
Valldosera proposes for this course those practices that deepen in the way the artist conceives light as a material through which we build our gaze polarized. It will also be explored how one faces the shooting digital, its file, selection and its use for handling the post-production tools that enable the superimposition of different times and places. Finally, a complete dossier will be published to allow access to fragmented readings of a wide range of authors who have put words to the individual or collective experiences of lighting realities and how these perceptions alter spatiotemporal tissue.
