Starting out with an idea, a desire or a personal story, participants will explore without holding back, seeking a distance and a style until finding its running thread. Once identified, guidelines and possible offshoots will allow them to pursue their work with intentions and delimited elements, which they will then capture, develop or completely compose.
Participants will take pictures, but some may rely mainly on already existing photographs. Editing sessions will be key to giving the narrative a direction, keeping some photographs, discarding others, combining them, specifying and trying again.
Starting out with a surrounding or personal reality, the way the subject is approached will be open to many avenues that could be partly orientated by the work of photographers, visual artists and directors. Participants can use fiction, theatre and intervention, as long as it lets them express a personal worldview.
