Sun Printing
KIMBERLY HALYBURTON
Duration
12 hours
Starting Date
February 5th
price
150€
In this course we will learn sun printing techniques; chlorotype, anthotype and cyanotype, contact copying processes of organic and chemical origin in which sunlight is used to obtain images. We will experiment with the creation of images in their most primary forms, taking advantage of the photosensitive capabilities of plants and other organic elements. We will make anthotypes where the photosensitive emulsion comes directly from petals, fruits, roots, etc., while at the same time, we will explore the Chlorotype process creating images directly on plant leaves. A sustainable photography laboratory will be created that encourages the development of a project through reflective images regarding the concerns of each participant.
In the last part of the workshop we will make cyanotypes on absorbent, non-absorbent and bulky supports, using mainly paper, fabric, seashells and other materials that will be prepared beforehand. Finally, we will propose a collage exercise mixing techniques.

KIMBERLY HALYBURTON
Kimberly Halyburton Fuster (1990, Valparaíso, Chile) is a teacher and visual artist who develops her work in experimental photography. She has a Master's Degree in Photographic Research and Creation, she specializes in artisanal and sustainable emulsions. She uses archival material seeking to represent the image of women from remote times and thus contrast and make visible current social concerns. She uses pinhole photography to record the natural landscape. She has developed a critical look at her vulnerable state, she seeks to show her beauty and her alteration, through small subtleties that make her permanence question.
In 2022, she published the photobook Metabolic made in cyanotype and printed in risography and has been part of collective publications on experimental photography such as Re Source del Sustainable Darkroom and ¿Qué historias podemos contar? of the Art Warehouse, Buenos Aires. She has exhibited her work collectively in Chile and virtually on platforms such as Arte al límite, Aeonian Magazine, Analog Forever, Alternative Processes, Alternative Photography, among others.
