工作坊介绍： 
摄影作为观念性工具以不同形态出现在当代艺术中。这个工作坊不关注技巧和摄影的质量，而是着眼于摄影中的观念性思考。每位参与者会从他们的照片中精炼出观念和系列组照，探索不同的叙述语言：比如两张照片关联产生的意义转变，这些构造的叙述如何产生新的故事，如何与个人，生物，社会或者政治联系起来。所有参与者会在这个工作坊中制作出一个小系列的照片，从中构建出一种叙事或深入研究。

Workshop description: 
Different forms of photography are used as a conceptual tool in contemporary art. 
Instead of focusing on the technical skills and qualities of photography, in this workshop we will focus on conceptual thinking in working with photography. Starting from their photographs, each participant will develop concepts and photo series, which explore alternative narratives: how the meaning might be transformed by situating an image in relation to another image(s). How these constructed narratives might allow the emergency of new possible histories, futures and stories: personal, biological, social or political… 
As a conclusion of the workshop the participants will develop a small series of photographs, which together build up narrative or a study emerging from their chosen subject.
