Give ordinary things an unusual atmosphere
Can poetry be extracted from ordinary things?
How do writers and poets use the method of defamiliarization to transform things around them into creative themes?
In the age of smartphones, images are readily available, but how can we get rid of visual clichés and enhance the appeal of image creation?
The invention of photography can be traced back to the Camera Obscura technique during the Renaissance in the Middle Ages. Before the invention of the camera, it was not easy to transfer real images to paper or other flat surfaces. In order to accurately depict things, painters at the time designed the depiction method in the camera obscura through the projection of light, which is also the basic principle of photography today.

People have made large-scale viewing tools based on the principle of the camera obscura.
5A1 Art Space is about to launch a special photography workshop project, which will explain in detail the observation techniques of Western medieval painters in the dark box in an easy-to-understand way, and connect this method to today's image creation, expanding the new distance of contact with reality in the world of photography.
The instructor will lead the students to make dark boxes, guide shooting techniques, and use a new way of observing the world to capture the poetry in the image using a special visual language. Let the students explore the potential and imagination behind the imaging container in a light environment and shoot unique photographic works.
Whether you are a professional photographer or an enthusiast interested in image creation, you are welcome to sign up. Let us break the routine with the black box and give ordinary things an unusual atmosphere. Come and join us in this poetic image journey!
