• Tropismo Fotográfico #3 - Bioimages: Black/White/Green (last edited: 2024) author(s): Tiago Assis, Inês Azevedo, Joana Mateus, Tiago Torres Pinho, Susana Lourenço Marques This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  This exposition is the last element of the Black/White/Green (BWG) project. BWG aims to develop and create sustainable and ecological alternatives for producing photographic images. It is an offshoot of another project that has been running for several years, Bioimages, in line with the two axes of action defined by the BWG: technological-laboratory development and artistic-educational development. The first axis refers to research into developing techniques based on biochemistry - such as caffenol, with coffee, or other plant-based developers - and to the creation of ecobjets - devices for capturing and producing images - using sustainable or reusable materials. Part of the development of this axis takes place through the investigation of pre-existing techniques and objects and their exploitation through creative proposals and artistic workshops. BWG consisted of two artistic residencies. We began with Ecolab, with Yannick Röels (Cultureghem) and Emanuel Santos, who developed a portable photographic development laboratory. In the second residency, Dialogues, artists Rita de Almeida Leite and Yasmine Moradalizadeh carried out collaborative artistic work alongside various workshops with groups and communities, with the support of Casa da Imagem, experimenting with the portable laboratory and other objects and techniques developed in the project. To develop the exposition in the RC, we based ourselves on the journal Tropismo Fotográfico #3, the BWG's final publication, and extended its narrative and contents to the Research Catalogue. This translation from printed media to a dynamic electronic screen format tries to take advantage of the Research Catalogue's potential while simultaneously rescuing and crossing elements and narratives that we didn't use in the journal but were present during the project.
