This video workshop will provide you with the essentials of what you need to know to make plant-based photographic developer and fixer for chemigrams.

In this summer intermission, Screen Walks outsources its activities to a non-human photographer. Departing from the locations where some of the most iconic images of street photography were taken, it will screenshot freely, experimenting with the idea of an algorithmic psychogeography.
Phytogram Workshop with Karel Doing
30th July 11:00 – 12:00
Online, Admission £6
Artist and filmmaker Karel Doing will give a workshop about phytography, a technique that makes it possible to render detailed chemical traces of plants directly on photographic emulsion. The process takes place in full daylight and makes use of biodegradable chemistry. During the workshop the artist will explain his technique, placing it in a historical lineage of experimental photography and film while also connecting it to ecological awareness. After this introduction, a hands-on demonstration is provided. For setting up your own experiments you will need (expired) photographic paper, soda crystals, vitamin-C powder, normal fix and two dark room trays.

Julia will share suppliers as well as books and other learning resources for you to go away and try your own workshops.
