Kaleidomania

Kaleidomania.

Deform the environment beyond measure and shape reality in an excessively beautiful way. Ensuring and framing infinite reflections in geometric shapes. Vicious circles evolve into spirals. It's all possible if you place a teleidoscope in front of the lens of your camera. The sum of technological coincidences gives access to explosive atmospheres and who knows, to consciousness-expanding possibilities...

Show object. Installation “Orange Blues”

Once, out of the blue, I held a teleidoscope in front of the lens of my camera. The first thing I photographed that way was an orange. The result: an orange carpet with 140 photos in which this fruit, as a diva, shows her true nature. From sunny, playful to suggestively juicy. This setup is pure promotion for fruit sugar and encourages the visitor to enjoy the orange scent. Giveaway: the tissue paper of the orange contains a winged message. Feel free to take this with you. A poem to enjoy at home.

Workshop - free.

I like to share my photography experience. The technique is simple and no prior knowledge is required. Expect a playful technique, surprising effect. With this workshop I want to look for the talent for wonder and admiration that everyone can develop. It is already possible with a smartphone. I provide all the attributes. You can practice as long as you want. Come by, and if a teleidoscope is available, you can get started.

For all ages.
