HDK-Valand
The term ”Hot Shoe” (or “Blixtsko”) refers to the mounting point found on cameras to connect a flash. The expressions “Blixtsko” and “Hot Shoe” can also create ambiguities and unexpected associations beyond its photographic meaning.
The exhibition Hot Shoe explores temporal aspects in relation to materials, places, light, and sound. The works challenge traditional contexts and open up for more interpretations and worlds. Artists utilize technical, historical, pop cultural, and theoretical aspects within photography to broaden our understanding of what photography is and can be.
Students from both bachelor’s and master’s programs in photography at HDK-Valand – Academy of Art and Design, present their works through various forms of expression. In addition to photography, sculpture, installations, sound pieces, publications, and video art are also exhibited.Studenter
