within the workshop there is one special exercise: the invention of a story of at least 1001 words (a picture says more than a thousand words), describing a very famous photograph. the pictures are landmarks of photographic art history but mostly unknown to the students.
all the pictures are taken from: the photo book (editors of phaidon press, the photo book, 1997, phaidon press), and distributed to the children at random in closed envelopes.
the challenge is to invent a story (independent from what the image is really about) of what happened before the photo was taken, or about what is going to happen next, - big fun, very nice stories.
you can find some of the results in a little book on the download page.
i want to thank phaidon books for their support.
