Theory and Practice of Vernacular Photography with Erik Kessels
31 May 2021 - 01 June 2021
Erik Kessels (1966) is a Dutch artist and curator. Founder and creative director of international advertising agency KesselsKramer, Erik’s personal work moves from and flows into the field of vernacular or found photography. He collects pictures on flea markets, fairs, junk shops, archives and online, which he re-contextualises in the form of playful and unapologetic books. Among his best known publications are In Almost Every Picture, Shit, Read Naked, Beauties and Failed it!.
RORHOF hosts two evenings on the theory and practice of vernacular photography with Erik Kessels. On 31 May, Erik will deliver a keynote on the phenomenon of found photography and what it entails from the standpoints of art and publishing, based on his personal experience. On 1 June, Erik will hold a workshop during which he will explore his practice of navigating physical archives and flea markets, as well as his chance encounters with forgotten bodies of work, including the archive of South Tyrolean journalist Hermann Frass, held at foto-forum in Bolzano/Bozen. Participants will have a chance to ask questions and engage in a group discussion with Erik during the workshop.
