Images in High Voltage

14/10/2017

13—16 h

Mochvara Club (Zagreb)

This one-day workshop gives the young participants an opportunity to explore the history of analogue high-voltage photography.

Participants of Images in High Voltage workshop will learn to use the Kirlian photographic technique – a technique which uses high voltage to create, on photo paper, an image of the invisible electrical potential of photographed objects, either anorganic or organic. With the guidance of professional mentors, participants will have the opportunity to create and use multiple types of devices for Kirlian photography which can capture different objects.
