The Game of Light. Equations and Estimations. Exploring beyond
reciprocity laws of light intensity and exposure time, we will
construct a variation of "kamera lucidas" based on simple photographic
mechanisms and optical phenomena. Starting off with instant
photographic materials for immediate results, any other kinds of
photosensitive material are welcome.

Polaroid Land Kameras and also 6x6 medium format kamera backs) and some

Participants may also bring along anything they wish their kamera body
to be constructed from.

Laughter, roars of laughter, the insatiable and irresistible desire for pleasure (kicks) are all ubiquitous elements of our contemporary (cross-cultural and worldwide) society of fun and pleasure, also with their darker sides.
The figures capable of producing these kicks were and are still today the iridescent clowns and talkative jesters who through art, ritualized gestures and often absurd tools show us our shortcomings with humour ranging from sarcasm to obscenity.
Other people’s behaviour appears grotesque always when it abandons the codes of familiarity and becomes capable of breaking taboos and showing us another reality.
From these ambivalent areas of tension in everyday life and in art, I wish Tickle Attack joyful projects from all cultural circles, which, as dedicated documentaries or creative constructions, at the height of our time, bring along them a wider and more in-depth understanding.
How, when, where, why, by whom or what – was, is and will there be laughter, humour, irony, a roar of laughter or dada? Not funny pictures but passionate and exciting projects with contents and backgrounds that grasp the wide and ambivalent theme within the contemporary society of fun and pleasure and can mediate it to their wondering viewers.
