In this workshop, led by Tetsuya Maruyama, participants will experiment with some of the most archaic photography techniques; pinhole camera and contact printing, with the use of old Japanese matchboxes. Pan-cinema raw material; time and space. From images captured on 16mm film frame by frame, participants will create negative and positive copies with Print Film. This technique allows for the freedom to work directly with the surface of the film with light, in the same way as a painter leaves their gesture on a canvas.

A 35mm photographic film cassette modification is required to load 16mm film, along with making a small camera box with household items such as a matchbox. Thus, one can also print information on the sound area of the film. Participants will be shown some works made with these techniques by artists like Paolo Gioli, Dianna Barrie, Philipp Fleischmann, etc. At the end, participants will present a collective film installation.
