Phytogram Workshop
Saturday 1st February 1–4pm
The workshop will be led by artist Artem Trofimenko, f.Project collective member, and will explore the intersection of photography, experimental art and botany.
Participants will create phytogram images using the internal chemistry of plants in conjunction with photographic emulsion directly on photographic film or paper.
This technique allows for the natural chemistry of plants to interact with light-sensitive surfaces, creating organic, abstract images without the use of a camera.
Participants should bring organic material that they would like to experiment with, such as flowers, leaves, petals, seaweed, things that press or lay flat, and translucent enough for light to pass through.
Each participant will get to take away their own unique phytogram.
Saturday 1st February 1–4pm
Max 8 people
This workshop is being offered for FREE to interested participants, however booking is essential.
Please book by emailing info.gomawaterford@gmail.com

Re-Action, a exhibition of work by f.Project, is showing at GOMA Waterford until 9th February 2025.
About f.Project
f.Project is a group of artists with a common love of analogue photography originally formed through a series of meetings while students at the Crawford College of Art & Design during 2017.
f.Project members embrace the particularities and vagaries of the analogue photographic practice. Some members of the group are experimenting with eco-friendly and organic methods in the darkroom, while a few are also now beginning to work with hand processing Super8 film.
f.Project is hosted by Cork Film Centre in its darkroom facility at Sample Studios, Cork. Current members are: Artem Trofimenko, Chris Hurley, Dori O’Connell, Éanna Heavey, Evgeniya Martirosyan, Orla O’Byrne, Sophia Santabarbara.
Re-Action, GOMA Waterford, January 2025
The underlying unifying subject matter for Re-Action, the f.Project group exhibition, is alchemy, which is approached in numerous ways by the various artists within the group, from working with the idea of change in all its forms, to experimental darkroom techniques and alternative printing methods. The outcome of this process is work in a range of mediums: photography, installation, moving image and possible performative pieces.
