Stop-Motion Workshop

Unexpected constellations, bold superimpositions, exciting connections – all this is collage. But how do these new combinations of found materials come about and in which direction could they develop further? In this workshop, we worked on various collages and transferred individual still images into movement using the technique of layering.
