This activity, initiated by Craig Leonard, is a way of putting these young artists to the test, in the form of an exercise in impromptu creations, in a context where they have to draw inspiration from places. They work in a wide variety of media, including sculpture in ice, metal and found elements; photography using sensitive paper and phytograms; sound captured with a hydrophone; drawing based on natural elements collected during walks; and narrative and experimental film.
