A workshop on the lies of photography with Martin Liebscher and Clemens Mitscher.
The illusion of photography has been inscribed in the photographic image since its very beginning. The dead Bayard was a fraud. Stalin read it wrong, he wasn't the only one. What analogue techniques were used? Can complete digital imaging eventually deceive the forensic experts? Can a digital image become untraceable through analogue means?
Binary imaging makes it possible to manipulate realities within seconds. We will concern ourselves with the history of falsification. Unraveling the adhesion of place and time, we drown ourselves in the central perspective.
The Laboratory of Lies. In the HFG Offenbach workshops, we can get involved in the digital workflow, RAW conversion to print.
