This workshop is an experiment in collective witchcraft and alchemy, or more prosaically, in photography. Using a film camera, we will design and take a series of 24 portraits of participants. Other (automatic) cameras will be handed out to document the process. Once the portraits are taken, we will collectively create the developing agent on a coffee-based developer with each participant adding something representing them to the mixture.

People: 3-12 (More could be done, but the development is only 24 photos at a time) Participants can bring something to add to the mix, or find one during the workshop
Picture taking and planning: 30 minutes
Mixture making: 30 minutes
Developing: 30 minutes
Drying: 4 hours

Representation theorist and mathematical physicist interested in literature, writing and photography.
