Emphasising on the importance of sustainability, HKIPF aims to promote and introduce more eco-conscious photography practices. We have invited UK artist Alice Cazenave, Executive Director of UK-based artist collective 'The Sustainable Darkroom', to participate in a one-month residency in Koon Man Space, leading two sustainable image-making workshops, to trial with local plants as dye, fibre, fragrance, etc.

Facilitator

Alice Cazenave, The Sustainable Darkroom

Workshop #1:

Chemigram & Low-toxicity Plant Chemistry

 

In this workshop, we will be foraging plants from the local areas of Chuen Lung, with which we will create plant-based developer. The resulting developer will be used for making chemigrams – that are unique, abstract and camera-less photographic prints.

 

Date: 16 March 2024 (Sat)

Time: 2:00 – 4:30 pm

Fee: HK$ 500 (including all materials, such as photographic papers & developers)

 

 

 

Workshop #2:

Photowalk & Film Processing with Plant-Developer

 

In a group, we will be doing a photowalk around the area of Chuen Lung – with a twist that everyone will share the same roll of film! At the end of the walk, the film will be processed with plant-developer, and Alice will discuss the experimentations and recipes she tinkered with during this residency.

 

Date: 23 March 2024 (Sat)

Time: 2:00 – 5:00 pm

Fee: HK$ 600 (including all materials, such as the film roll & developers)
