Start: 11 am (until approx. 6 pm)

Unexpected constellations, bold superimpositions, exciting connections – all this is collage.

In this workshop, we will work on various collages and transfer individual still images into movement using the technique of layering.

aber hi! Typografische Ausstellung

aber hi! Typographic exhibition

A project within the framework of the Poetryfilmtage of the course “einDrucksvoll”. Students of the Bauhaus University Weimar have produced typographic experiments in cooperation with Pavillon-Presse Weimar. These are an artistic interpretation of the poem “aber hi!” by the performer and poet Ulrike Almut Sandig. The exhibition in the 11m^3 project space directly addresses the conditions of the location and plays with the dimensions of visibility/concealment as well as dialogue and contact.
The exhibition was conceived by the course participants under the direction of Catalina Giraldo Velez as part of the Poetryfilmtage 2023.
