It is always about completion
There is completion happening at this funny SUMMER academy.
The expanded painting course (Ellen Harvey), the conceptual art course (Jermolaewa/Chernysheva), the curatorial course (Anders Kreuger) and the photography course (Paolo Woods): all completed.
The sculptors, the painterly painters and the public art people are still working. Robert Kuśmirowski removes a ladder from the birdhouse and walks with his public art course up the castle to see the exhibited works:
From the 20 participants in Paolo Woods' photography course only two used the darkroom for developing their own analogue photos. One of them is Kamil from Moskow. He went to the trainstation and asked a train operator wether he could take analogue black and white pictures of him. The train operator said: "No." because he was too tired from work.
So Kamil instead took a random train to a small town over the border in Germany where he made digital photos. When he came back he met the train operator again. Kamil told him that he had been in the german village and the train operator said: "You have been to the village where I was born!" Kamil showed the digital village pictures to the train operator and the train operator let Kamil enter a train's engine showing him around the railway switchyard. Kamil took analogue black and white photos of the railyard. He and Paolo Woods are happy with the results.
