Darkrooms: a photography workshop


Focus Tour
August 9, 2024
KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Berlin



Andrew Suggs and artist/arts educator Thesea Rigou designed and hosted a hands-on photography workshop that explored in depth the themes of the exhibition Jimmy DeSana and Paul P.: Ruins of Rooms, including queer temporalities and sexuality, body-as-object, performance and theatricality. Participants collectively staged and shot their own photographs inspired by the works of Jimmy DeSana and Paul P. and through their own creative process engaged in a group discussion about their relationship to the works on view.
