The Pleasure Of Ignorance
75 participants' photographs with passe-partout, video, artist book, part of the Riga Photography Biennial 2018, exhibited at The Latvian Museum of Photography
In 2016 Inga Erdmane created a social art project in the form of a a photography workshop for five clients of the Latvian Probation Service. Erdmane, serving mainly as an intermediary, gave the participants a disposable camera and instructed them to photograph anything they deemed interesting. During regular meetings she would discuss the results and offer artistic and technical feedback. This led to nearly 40 rolls of filled film with images of varying quality and a document of process, progress and result. Erdmane discovered that the participants had a quality she rarely encountered in the professional field because they exhibited a “pleasure of ignorance” which allowed for a certain freedom. They could break rules they never knew existed and the results were frequently surprising and exciting.
