ICE Immersion Series 8:

Photography & Sound

Conducted by Gerardo Montiel Klint

Sign up now to our new ICE Immersion Workshop conducted by Mexican photographer Gerardo Montiel. How can we translate smell into images? How to translate affection and attachment into photo? How is nostalgia translated into sound? These are some of the questions that guide this four-day immersive experience. This workshop will open a creative space where participants will experiment with image and sound to explore collectively the porosity of visual and sound media.

February 27 to March 2, 2019 at ICE studio
