SOLAR PRINTING
WITH KIMBERLY HALYBURTON
THIS COURSE IS PART OF THE SECOND MODULE OF THE DIPLOMA IN EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY, A CREATIVE JOURNEY DESIGNED TO HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR STYLE AND TAKE YOUR IMAGES TO THE NEXT LEVEL. HERE, WE EXPLORE IN DEPTH THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY. THE MOST ENRICHING EXPERIENCE IS TO TAKE IT AS PART OF THE COMPLETE DIPLOMA PROGRAM, CONNECTING YOUR LEARNING, BUILDING ON YOUR EXPERIENCES, AND GROWING STEP BY STEP. HOWEVER, IF YOU CURRENTLY ONLY WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS SPECIALIZATION, YOU CAN ALSO ENROLL SEPARATELY FOR €150.
WHEN THE SUN BECOMES YOUR CAMERA
IN THIS COURSE, WE WILL LEARN SOLAR PRINTING TECHNIQUES: CHLOROTYPE, ANTHOTYPE, AND CYANOTYPE. THESE ARE ORGANIC AND CHEMICAL CONTACT PRINTING PROCESSES THAT USE SUNLIGHT TO CREATE IMAGES. WE WILL EXPERIMENT WITH CREATING IMAGES IN THEIR MOST BASIC FORMS, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE PHOTOSENSITIVE PROPERTIES OF PLANTS AND OTHER ORGANIC MATERIALS. WE WILL MAKE ANTHOTYPES WHERE THE PHOTOSENSITIVE EMULSION COMES DIRECTLY FROM PETALS, FRUITS, ROOTS, ETC., WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPLORING THE CHLOROTYPE PROCESS BY CREATING IMAGES DIRECTLY ON PLANT LEAVES. A SUSTAINABLE PHOTOGRAPHY LAB WILL BE CREATED TO FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROJECT THROUGH REFLECTIVE IMAGES ADDRESSING EACH PARTICIPANT'S CONCERNS. IN THE FINAL PART OF THE WORKSHOP, WE WILL CREATE CYANOTYPES ON ABSORBENT, NON-ABSORBENT, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL SUPPORTS, PRIMARILY USING PAPER, FABRIC, SEASHELLS, AND OTHER MATERIALS THAT WILL BE PREPARED BEFOREHAND. FINALLY, WE WILL PROPOSE A COLLAGE EXERCISE COMBINING VARIOUS TECHNIQUES.

KIMBERLY HALYBURTON
@ @kimsophie_
KIMBERLY HALYBURTON FUSTER (1990, VALPARAÍSO, CHILE) IS A TEACHER, VISUAL ARTIST, AND WORKS IN EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY. SHE HOLDS A MASTER'S DEGREE IN PHOTOGRAPHIC RESEARCH AND CREATION AND SPECIALIZES IN HANDCRAFTED AND SUSTAINABLE EMULSIONS. SHE USES ARCHIVAL MATERIAL TO REPRESENT THE IMAGE OF WOMEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY, CONTRASTING IT WITH AND HIGHLIGHTING CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL CONCERNS.
USING PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY TO RECORD THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE, HE HAS DEVELOPED A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON ITS VULNERABLE STATE, SEEKING TO SHOW ITS BEAUTY AND ITS ALTERATION THROUGH SUBTLE DETAILS THAT QUESTION ITS PERMANENCE.
IN 2022, HE PUBLISHED THE PHOTOBOOK METABOLIC, PRODUCED USING CYANOTYPE AND PRINTED USING RISOGRAPH, AND HAS BEEN PART OF COLLECTIVE PUBLICATIONS ON EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY SUCH AS RE SOURCE OF SUSTAINABLE DARKROOM AND
WHAT STORIES CAN WE TELL? FROM THE ART WAREHOUSE, BUENOS AIRES. HE HAS EXHIBITED HIS WORK COLLECTIVELY IN CHILE AND VIRTUALLY ON PLATFORMS SUCH AS ARTE AL LÍMITE, AEONIAN MAGAZINE, ANALOG FOREVER, ALTERNATIVE PROCESSES, ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY, AMONG OTHERS.
