Artist Edd Carr will give a talk focusing on his experimental moving-image practice and the use of natural materials in animation.
The talk will explore how local experiences of ecological change can be articulated through moving images, drawing on techniques developed by Carr using soil, wood, leaves, and other organic materials. Through examples from his own work, he will discuss the possibilities of combining analog and digital processes, as well as approaches to image-making developed within the Sustainable Darkroom, a research and learning initiative dedicated to environmentally conscious photographic practices. The talk will also address alternative methods and materials that challenge conventional darkroom processes and expand the ecological dimensions of photographic practice.
Organized as part of This Porous Earth, the talk will be held in English and is open to everyone.
Edd Carr is an artist whose work explores relationships between ecological crisis and the wider non-human world through experimental photographic processes. Working across moving image, print, and animation, he employs techniques including plant-developed film, cyanotype animation, soil prints, and hand-crafted emulsions, combining analog and digital methods. He is the co-founder of the Sustainable Darkroom, a non-profit organization dedicated to the research and development of environmentally responsible alternatives to photographic practice. His works have been exhibited internationally and continue to investigate the possibilities of sustainable image-making.
