Outdoor installation by Zara Pfeifer, for the book presentation Wild Site. Installation view: Paul Sebesta
The MAK Center for Art and Architecture invites participants to a hands-on photography workshop with Zara Pfeifer, the second in a series of guided programs. Currently a resident in the MAK Artists- and Architects-in-Residence program, Pfeifer’s photographic practice is positioned at the intersection of architecture, social space, and documentary.
The workshop will begin with a short presentation by Pfeifer on her own work, alongside selected photographic approaches that engage with spatial and architectural themes. Participants will then take part in a guided, practical exercise, with time for group discussion and exchange.
This workshop will be limited in capacity to support focused engagement. Participants should plan to attend for the full four hour duration and are invited to actively take part by sharing photographs, ideas, and questions in a supportive and collaborative setting. All levels and cameras are welcome.
Due to limited capacity, RSVPs for this program are now closed. If you would like to be placed on a waitlist, please email office[at]makcenter.org
