ALISA RESNIK and the nightfall

PORTRAYING BERLIN’S NIGHTS, 17-20 August 2015

This 4 days workshop will guide participants in  developing a personal narrative about the various shades of the night in Berlin.

Alisa’s work mainly focuses on the night in the city, as seen in the dark scenes always sparked by some light.

There’s no other place in the world that can compete with Berlin in terms of the diversity of its nightlife: Spree hang outs, Artemis’ swinging parties, grabbing a beer at a Spaetkauf and taking the U1 line, meeting up at Kaiser of Kottbusser Tor, spending the night on the rooftop of Neukölln Arcaden, gay pop-up parties, swimming in pools at night, smoking pot in the parks… and, of course, clubbing.

 

 

BIOGRAPHY

Alisa was born in 1976 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Growing up as the child of actors she was fascinated by the dreamworlds of stage settings and designs from an early age. In 1990 her family left the dissolving Soviet Union and moved to Berlin, Germany. In 1996 Alisa took up studies in Art History and Philosophy at Humboldt Universität Berlin and at Università di Bologna. She began photographing in 2008, using trips around Europe to gain experience behind the camera, eventually returning to Russia and Ukraine to photograph street scenes in St. Petersburg and Odessa. In June 2009 she attended a Photographic Workshop in Tuscany (TPW) tutored by Antoine d’Agata. In 2010 she is among the photographers selected by Giorgia Fiorio for the Reflexions Masterclass.

Alisa’s works were exhibited in Rome, Milan and Madrid, selected among the Photoespaña 2009 Descubrimientos and among the new talented photographers at the Musée Suisse de l’appareil Photographique in Vevey and awarded by Winephoto Contest in 2008 and 2009. In 2011 her long-term project “Hoarse” is at Les Rencontres d’Arles, the most important photography festival in Europe. In 2013 Alisa has won the European Publishers Award for Photography. Her work “One another” has been published by Kehrer Verlag. www.alisaresnik.com
