Do Not Disturb – Curating in Progress


The course Do Not Disturb – Curating in Progress is designed to
give students a sneak peek into the craft of curating an exhibition
from the perspective of an independent curator (formerly at
Foam, Amsterdam 2011-2021). The course teaches to engage with
the historical, theoretical, and practical matters of curating a
photography exhibition, with issues regarding the desperate desire
of mankind to display objects, the photography exhibition in the
digital age, the blending of photography with other disciplines in
a physical space, Imaging the Anthropocene and Photography in
Times of Radical Change.

Students were invited to create a group exhibition with a physical model and an online solo exhibition with their own work.

Workshop - Rachel de Joode - 2026

with Rachel de Joode, Clément Lambelet

For this workshop, ECAL invited Rachel de Joode, Berlin-based artist whose practice explores the relationship between photography, sculpture, and digital images. During the week, students experimented with transforming photographic images into three-dimensional forms. Starting from simple concepts, they produced or gathered image material intended for printing and treated images as surfaces to cut, fold, layer, and assemble into sculptural objects. Through rapid tests and material experimentation, the workshop encouraged students to move repeatedly between image, surface, object, and documentation. By working with printing, scale, and spatial placement, they explored how photographic images can gain physical presence and occupy space beyond the screen.

Workshop - Simone C Niquille - 2025

with Simone Niquille, Milo Keller, Clément Lambelet

For this workshop, ECAL invited Simone C Niquille, Swiss designer and researcher based in Amsterdam whose practice investigates how digital images, computer vision, and 3D technologies shape the way bodies and objects are represented in contemporary visual culture. Through her research platform Technoflesh, Niquille examines the infrastructures behind digital imagery (from stock images and 3D assets to machine vision systems) and the cultural assumptions embedded in them. Her work reveals how datasets, rendering software, and visual standards influence how bodies, materials, and environments are modeled and understood.

Workshop - CGI WITH AREA OF WORK – 2025

with Area Of Work

The Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) Workshop is an introduction to 3D creation software that allows you to create images with photographic qualities that are not photographs.  This workshop centers on the theme of “Minimal,” inviting students to explore the creative and technical foundations of contemporary CGI image-making.  It emphasizes materiality and the expressive impact of reduction. Every form, light, and texture has a specific role, negative space guides the emotional tone, and fine details unify the composition.
