Artist workshop - Rebecca Krasnik with SIM residency 23 May 2026

The darkrooms and the artists taking part in the Darkroom Exchange residency program will offer workshops in sustainable photography during the residency period.

Artist Rebecca Krasnik (DK) is visiting SÍM Residency in Reykjavik, Iceland in May.
She will offer the workshop “Digital Contact Prints” at the Ljósmyndaskólinn darkroom 23.May 2026.

Workshop at Filmverkstaden 23.-24.May 2026

Ljósmyndaskólinn & SÍM presents a one day hands-on workshop led by artist-in-residence Rebecca Krasnik, part of the Nordic Analogue Network.

As part of her stay, Rebecca Krasnik will lead a a hands-on workshop introducing participants to digital contact prints through experimental darkroom processes.
Using light emitted from screens, participants transform digital images into analogue photographic prints. The workshop explore how water, physicality, and manual handling can be reintroduced into the creation of otherwise digital images.
Krasnik will also present examples from her own experimental practice, providing an introduction to the technique, and guiding participants through their own darkroom experiments.

Rebecca Krasnik works across analogue photography, historic printmaking techniques, and computer-generated imagery, Krasnik’s practice explores the evolving relationship between physical and digital image-making
Her work moves fluidly between artist books, sculptural installations, and augmented reality (AR), creating encounters that contrast bodily experience with digital representations of time and space. Through these layered approaches, Krasnik investigates how emerging technologies continue to shape the ways we create, perceive, and interact with images today.

During her residency, Krasnik is continuing her experimental research into photographic processes that bridge digital and analogue methods, bringing tactile, material practices into dialogue with screen-based imagery.
