Visit at philomena+ as part of the Oead project Emotional Lands
Just like the Emotional Lands exhibition at philomena+, the topic feelings was the focus of the workshop series with two classes from the Educational Institute for Elementary Education Kenyongasse in Vienna.
philomena+ residency artist Ziad Naitaddi visited the pupils in their classrooms on three Tuesdays in Feburary. Together with Maria Hanl, who was the school project leader and artistic partner, he searched with the young people for images that trigger emotions. He then introduced them to photography as an artistic medium of expression and gave them a tool for producing their own artistic photographic works that convey emotions. The highlight of the event was the presentation of the students’ works in the philomena+ exhibition space.
artists
MARIA HANL
(*1969 in Gallneukirchen, lives and works in Vienna) explores human conditionalities from a constantly changing perspective and is interested in the relationship between subjects and objects and the spaces that unfold through these connections. She is less interested in conditions than in the constant changes that are inscribed in every living organism. Maria Hanl graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna and the Slade School of Fine Art, London, as well as studying education, special needs education and physical education at the University of Vienna and has participated in countless exhibitions in Austria and abroad.
ZIAD NAITADDI
(*1995 in Rabat, lives and works in Salé) attempts to express the human soul through his work by photographing people and expressing their inner emotions, currently focussing on the theme of migration and identity. He visualises the emotional side of this topic, the tragic dimension of migration and the difficult decision that emigrants have to make. His projects scrutinise the emergence of hardship, loss of identity and the adventurous search for answers. Ziad Naitaddi’s work has been presented in various exhibitions, publications and collections.
