VII MASTERCLASS WORKSHOP WITH ANTONIN KRATOCHVIL / VII
CHERNOBYL SHADOWS

October 1 - 10, 2010
Chernobyl
Fee: 1950 Euro, includes accommodations and entry fee to the forbidden zone
12 places

The restricted yet magical zone of Chernobyl attracts time after time all who ever stepped foot in it before. Antonin Kratochvil will again for third time lead his students directly to Chernobyl to allow them a look beneath the surface of this 25 year old tragedy, whose repercussions still resonate to this day. The abandoned city of Prypiat with its colors of decay will inspire the creation of portraits, which Antonin has coined “portraits on the edge of light”. If the conditions allow, a boat trip on the unique riverbed of the Prypiat river’s dead-end branches will also be a part of the workshop.

f1 We hope to create a photographic publication presenting the works of this year's and the last two years' workshop participants. Collectively, we will explore the many options of how to show these photographs to the public. One suggestion is to have a group exhibition in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the disaster (April 2011) with an opening in Chernobyl itself.
