MANUEL VASON

PERFORMING PHOTOGRAPHY TO SEE OTHERWISE

I consider the workshop an apparatus of creation;
equal to a camera obscura the luminous inputs get transformed into a collective blend of individual growth.

Manuel Vason

The photo-synchronicity of many individuals focusing attention on specific actions is a beautiful manifestation of plurality, difference, and union.

With this in mind, the workshop becomes an affective device of co-creation and an opportunity to exchange with others.

During the various activities of the workshop we learn to inhabit different perspectives, embrace the unfamiliar, and adopt trust and proximity to counteract the prominent individualism characteristic of the capitalistic society.

My personal intention is to listen and follow the various interferences that the group releases beyond the initial proposition that gathered the group.

As well as a instrument of artistic creation, my workshops have a educational aspect and a

number of Universities in UK and abroad have regularly invited me to present a configuration.
