The Devil is in the Details: Microcosmic Street Photography Workshop with Mark
Street
$40.00
Visiting experimental documentary filmmaker Mark Street (Brooklyn, NY) will
discuss looking at urban locations IN CLOSE UP and how to represent a place IN
DETAIL using video in this hands-on workshop. With a glancing nod to the
tradition of street photography (Dziga Vertov, Rudy Burkhardt, Helen Levitt,
etc.) participants will prowl the streets around Shapeshifters looking to find
beauty, truth and poetic resonance in taking the short view: a tree shadow on a
bodega wall, a piece of trash floating across lanes of traffic, a wisp of an
anecdote from a longtime resident. Eschewing the panoramic, we will attempt to
uncover an exalted way of seeing through active and engaged observation of
forgotten moments culled from the minutia of daily life. Participants are asked
to bring a device capable of recording video (cell phone or DSLR) + small image
(photographic still or a few minutes of video) and/or a short (2-3 minute)
snippet of audio that they feel represents some aspect of their urban
surroundings. We will use this material as a jumping off spot to gather more
images and sounds in the neighborhood.
