Paulo NOZOLINO

PAULO NOZOLINO - Down to the bone

This workshop is not for digital photoshop lovers, reportage, landscape or portrait photographers, conceptual artists or career seekers. It is a workshop for the unsure, the poets, the dreamers, all of those who feel they don’t fit in the system!

During the five-day experience we will discuss content rather than form and how to make a coherent statement through sequencing for an exhibition, a portfolio or a book, using photography as a scalpel. Perform visual surgery into a make-believe world. Getting to some kind of personal visual truth. Work is about making things as simple as possible, using one camera, one lens, one eye and time to waste. Walking, thinking, talking. Photographs consist on making an attempt to get to the core of things, people and places, by contemplation and acute action, by reduction not accumulation.

The participants will work on their personal obsessions and concerns. Focusing on pain of being and assuming the errors. Learn how to deal with fear and luck, cutting into the wound and trying to get down to the bone. So we can all learn a bit more and cheat death one more day.

The Workshop is held in french (with English translation if necessary).

PAULO NOZOLINO
After studying at the London College of Printing from 1975 to 1978, Paulo Nozolino started to travel around the world: Europe, America and Asia. His work is regularly exhibited: at the Rencontres d’Arles, at the Museum de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves in Porto, at the Fnac Montparnasse, at the CCB in Lisboa. He’s the author of some books « Penumbra », which traces 12 years of travel in the Arab world, « Far cry », and « Bone Lonely ». He received the Villa Médicis Hors les Murs bursary in 1994-1995, and many other prizes: the Oskar Banarck prize, the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis, the national photography great prize in Portugal.
