MEDS Project Mnemosyne: Analogue Photography Workshop - Final Expo

Description 
In today’s world, where everyone has a camera in their pockets and can post 10 selfies a second on 20 different social media platforms, the painstaking process of shooting film on 30-year-old analogue cameras, developing that film and then using the negative to create a physical photograph seems truly insane. So why did 12 International design and architecture students from all over the world do this for 2 weeks? We will let these pictures exhibited here speak for themselves but want to let you know that they were made entirely by hand with what seems like ancient technology at this point and with an understanding of how light can be harnessed into a replicable form to create art with. Nothing in the world can match the magic of seeing the light take shape on your first photograph in the darkroom. Luckily this feeling is making a comeback along with everything analogue in the world of photography. All of our lost films and failures learning this process were worth it in the end on our very special analogue journey.
