PRIMAL LIGHT RESIDENCY #02 KAREL DOING
AT LABORATÓRIO DA TORRE
Karel Doing is an independent artist, filmmaker and researcher whose practice investigates the relationship between culture and nature by means of analogue and organic process, experiment and co-creation.
During his residency at Laia Coop he will focus on the old Eucalyptus trees in Porto, combining lens based images with material and chemical alterations. The aim is to create a series of multi-layered sequences that convey some of the rich and complex processes that are taking place on the outside and the inside of the trees, an intense double projection, alternating between slow/majestic and rapid/hypnotic.
He will draw on his experience with DiY practice, chemical manipulation and his more recent interest in plants. Exchange of knowledge and collaboration will be an important factor, potentially influencing the further development of the project.
