Image par image : revisiter l'archive

Image par image is a project by Latent.e that explores photography as a reproducible, transformable medium rooted in time, beyond the still image. At the crossroads of photography, collage, and experimental cinema, the project explores contemporary uses of photographic archives: how an existing image can be reinterpreted, recomposed, and set in motion to produce new visual narratives.

This series of workshops is organized around two complementary modules. The first is dedicated to photographic recomposition using existing images and archives: exploring selection, fragmentation, and montage as ways to interrogate the construction of meaning and the circulation of images. The second translates these recomposed images through the historical cyanotype process, then sequences them via frame-by-frame animation, creating a dialogue between camera-less photography, early cinema, and contemporary moving-image practices.

The workshops are open to students, artists, and curious participants, prioritizing a pedagogy of seeing and making: hands-on handling of images, critical reflection, and historical context. All materials are provided.

Developed by Latent.e, an association founded in Paris in 2025 that explores photography as a material, temporal, and ever-evolving medium through collage, alternative processes, and the moving image.
