Henrik Dunker “Older People”

Keywords: studio, photography, video

As the headline suggests, participants of the workshop are expected to draw attention to people of older generations and issues related to them.

“Studio” is referring to artificial or altered environment and/or to a non-documentary style – so as to create a distancing effect. One can choose to work in a photo studio in the University premises, or to create a studio-like set-up in an existing environment (like someone’s home), or to alter the environment or use it in some other creative manner.
