“A Contemporary Atlas of Human Body Process. The body notions, that’s the exhibi- tions of the body. / Its critical intelligi- bility, its moulding of social footprint, / The curvature of the sound, of sternoclei- domastoid sound, / Of its orgasms. A pact micronarrations. / Search engines. Reincarnation of our principles, in glory and misery, / Compassion and violence, proximity and distance, / Retroactions of deviations and differences. / An X array table. / A negligence. A tool. / An laser extension of the fingers. But the true body does not exist in the representation. / For every representation is a metaphor of the body. / For every representation is a metaphor for life. How not to attempt to read it? / How not to try to describe it? / Could I one day see all the sides? I think I fear death, and my body does too. / Yet, we often read this absence as a rest. / I, who spent nights filled with dreams, I do not know if anything is interesting. / Horror Vacui. / Fill to fill the void, make sense. / I assume and I stuff to death.“

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.

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.

DRIVE For this week’s theme, “Drive,” first-year photography students were asked to create a portrait shot on medium-format film. Inspired by the sensation of a first driving experience, travel, empowerment, or discovery, the week aimed to explore the relationship between one or more people and a vehicle.
