Photo Walks: Lumen Printing with Julie Pasila

Join us for the first edition of LAT's 'Photo Walks', a hybrid walk-and-workshop art experience. In this session led by artist Julie Pasila, participants will engage in a lumen printing workshop that engages with the environment and artworks of LAT. The workshop will begin with an attunement walk, where participants will get acquainted with the landscape and encounter a selection of artworks. This will be followed by an introduction to the lumen printing process and ethical foraging. About the process: Lumen printing is a cameraless photo process that uses objects to create silhouettes/impressions on light-sensitive paper. It’s highly reactive to natural materials which makes it ideal for field studies. No previous photo experience is required. Julie Pasila is a photo-based artist and educator from Toronto, Canada. She works collaboratively with the landscape, using reactive, analogue materials to document —and make physical— elements that are in flux or soon to disappear. Cycles, seasons, transformation and regeneration are recurring subjects in her work. Julie has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, and her projects have received funding from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council. She works out of a studio at Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts on the Toronto Islands.
