STATEMENT
EL LABORATORIO is an association focused on historical photography.
Our aim is to recuperate, preserve and document the handcraft of the 19th
century photographic processes and to offer an open project space for
artistic exploration and production.
The intention with the residency is to create a meeting point for reflection and exchange of knowledge and ideas, where artistic creation can happen.
The priority is given to fellow photographers working within the field of historical photography, but also artists from other disciplines are welcome to apply.
We wish to create a dialogue with the local community through artist talks, events, workshops or exhibitions and the participating artist is expected to contribute during the residency.
El Laboratorio was founded by Pablo Castilla and Hedvig Biong in 2015.
