Stage
What if the smartphone became a tool for slowing down, observing and experiencing things differently?
This workshop for adults offers a creative immersion in the world of the ‘Mimesis’ exhibition, through a sensory exploration of image, sound, the gaze and attention.
Here, the aim is not to master technique or produce perfect images, but rather to explore a different way of being present in the world.
Inspired by the work of Damien Gernay and led by Rino Noviello, a photographer, videographer and professional trainer, this workshop will place great emphasis on contemplation, slowness, sensations and the subtle variations of reality.
Depending on the group dynamic, a form of presentation may emerge at the end of the workshop: a screening, a simple installation, a sound installation or a simple moment of sharing.
No technical prior knowledge is required. Apart from your smartphone, all the necessary equipment will be provided.
