Recycle, reinvent, photograph!

Like Thorsten Brinkmann’s self-portraits, each participant is invited to photograph himself – or a model – dressed in recycled fabrics and materials. Curtains, brooms and other invisible everyday objects will be used as props to create a character inspired by the German photographer’s quirky and chivalrous imagination. Details below.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Organisation
As part of the programming of events around its exhibition Thorsten Brinkmann: Farce Satrape, the Photographic Centre is organising a competition which will take place from Tuesday 30 October 2018 to Monday 7 January 2019. Participation in this competition is free of charge.

2. Competition
The aim of the “chic-à-brac” competition is to encourage and enhance the creativity of the participants while allowing an enriched approach to the works of photographer Thorsten Brinkmann, exhibited at the Centre photographique Rouen Normandie from 13 October 2018 to 26 January 2019.
Thus, in the image of Thorsten Brinkmann’s self-portraits, each participant is invited to photograph himself – or a model – indoors, dressed in recycled fabrics and materials. Curtains, brooms and other invisible everyday objects will be used as props to create a character inspired by the German photographer’s chivalrous and offbeat imagination.
