« Landing is the story of my encounter with Israeli territory, of a confrontation with a reality far from the one I once fantasized about. It is a latent crossing, that of a place where time seems to have frozen still. What emerges out of the heaviness of the surrounding silence is the picture of a fragmented territory, one that is difficult to access and where the lowest walls stand like so many borders against the horizon. And in the destabilizing immobility of things they cast their nostalgic and dumbfoun- ded gazes, they who seem to be contemplating their territory, the very one whose complexity stares them back in the face.»

with Rineke Dijkstra
What is good portrait? What technique do you choose? What kind of light do you use? Daylight or flash? What location or backdrop do you choose for? How do you choose your subject? How do you approach someone you don’t know? In this workshop, the students have explored what makes a good portrait and which tools you can use to create one.
BA PHOTOGRAPHY
with Laurence Bonvin
Take risks, experiment, and try out new approaches or techniques in relation to a current or past project, or their future graduation project. Encourage them to take a project or idea further by experimenting with methodology, technique, and production methods, rather than relying on familiar processes, solutions, know-how, or tried-and-true formulas.

“What is clearly conceived can be clearly expressed, and the words to say it come easily.” Nicholas Boileau, *L’art poétique*. As students embark on their final year of study at ECAL, with their interests and methods taking shape, this final project offers an opportunity to challenge their own rules, established practices and influences, to refuse to settle for the status quo and to take risks.
