A workshop by the Performance studios of the Faculty of Fine Arts at VUT in Brno and the Photography Department of the Faculty of Arts at OU in Ostrava, following on from the Boris Camaca exhibition (https://plato-ostrava.cz/en/Vystavy/2025/Boris-Camaca). Closed event.

The workshop will focus on exploring the identity formation of fictional characters through photography in Ostrava's urban environment. Participants will experiment with site-specific photography of the fictional characters they will put in motion through performance. The aim is to explore visual storytelling in a specific environment. Students of FaVU and FU will work in groups to stage performative situations for the fictional characters.

In addition to exploring the creative process itself, the workshop focuses on the possibility of connecting students from two different schools and studios. It seeks to establish cooperation between young emerging artists and create opportunities not only to acquire basic knowledge, but also to experience deeper artistic collaboration and try out roles in a wider production project. The students will have the opportunity to collaborate in roles that allow them to focus in more detail on a specific type of work, while also exploring the collaboration that arises directly in this process. Boris Camaca and Iryna Drahun will mentor the groups in technical, creative, and conceptual matters.
