The Modules programme is an immersion into the world of contemporary art, offering young people the opportunity to work with artists. Through multiple sessions, participants explore new techniques, broaden their understanding of art, and develop their own artistic skills. For this module, we have invited Séverine Peiffer.
During this workshop, participants will learn how to create a camera-less photograph (photogram) with the help of sugar cubes, threads, pins and other ordinary objects placed on light-sensitive material coated with cyanotype chemicals. After experimenting on paper, participants will produce their image on a cotton tote bag or silk scarf. Cyanotype is a historical photographic printing technique discovered in the nineteenth century widely known for its Prussian blue colour.
Séverine Peiffer is a fine-art photographer based in Luxembourg. Séverine’s artistic approach is inspired by research (technical and aesthetic) on the pioneer photographers of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Séverine expresses herself through various printing processes such as wet collodion, photogram, chemigram as well as salted paper, albumen or cyanotype techniques. Her work, at times pictorialist, other times abstract and experimental, show the artist’s passion for unhurried, handmade photography and explore the fragility of the human condition as a main subject.
