Antoine D'Agata

Workshop

3-7 April 2023
Berlin, Germany

About the
WORKSHOP

This workshop revolves around photography as a means for asserting a personal perception of the world. Looking beyond the purely documentary, images making up a diary or inventory allow their inventor to cut free from the constraints underlying the transcription of objective reality. Antoine d’Agata’s concern is to pare down the photographic act to the need to recount ordinary or extreme experiences.

Each participant will be asked to examine the ultimate goal of his approach, to play an active part in his own images, and to work on the texture of reality. Since images, like words, only take on meaning when brought together, the workshop will focus on finding the most relevant form for each individual stance. Working with Antoine d’Agata, participants must be ready to photograph intensively throughout the workshop and to extend the limits of their approach. They will have to confront their obsessions and contradictions as they shape a series of images conveying in real or fictional terms their private relationship with the world.

French photographer and film-maker born in Marseille. D’Agata is renowned for his strong experiential documentary photography. He has been published regularly: Vortex and Insomnia, 2003, Stigma, 2004, Manifest, 2005, ICE, 2011, Anticorps, 2013, Oscurana, 2018, Acephale, 2018, amongst others.

He has been a member of Magnum Photos since 2011.

Antoine has taught two ArtFotoMode workshops in Berlin during 2017 and 2022
