📸 Capturing the Moment: An Analog Journey
We are honored to invite you to be part of the opening of pupil’s Analog Photography Exhibition, in the 8th of November from 10:50 AM.
In this photography exhibition, pupils from Emanuil Ungureanu Technical College @ct_ungureanu explore the art of immortalizing the moment, with each image capturing a unique and fleeting fragment of reality. Under the guidance of PhD Lecturer Mădălin Mărienuț (@wounded_light_photoproject ) from the Faculty of Arts and Design @futureframes.tm , these young artists embraced the beauty and depth of analog photography as part of the InterFOTO 8.0 – InterGENERATIONAL project.
Each frame invites us to reflect on photography’s power to preserve moments, allowing us to see beyond the ephemeral and find ourselves in these timeless glimpses. ✨

AI & New Technologies Workshop for pupils by Camil Mihăescu
2024-10-22 08:00 - 2024-10-24 17:00 | Centru, Timișoara, Timiș, Romania
Between October 22nd and 24th, following the presentation at CT Ungureanu, the first workshop on New Techniques and AI was held in the photography laboratory of the Foto-Video Department at the Faculty of Arts and Design in Timișoara, with students from the 11th grade and 11-D class of Emanuil Ungureanu Technical College. Over 20 students participated.
The project InterFOTO 8.0 InterGENERAȚIONAL is part of the Cultura în prezent 2024 program, funded by the Municipality of Timișoara through the Project Center.

Presentation on AI and New Technologies with Camil Mihăescu
2024-10-22 08:00 - 17:00
On October 22nd at 1:00 PM, in the assembly hall of Emanuil Ungureanu Technical College, Prof. Dr. Camil Mihăescu delivered a presentation featuring theoretical and historical concepts and showcased his portfolio of works titled ”Spinning Around Something that is Myself and Not”. Camil Mihăescu shared with the students his long-standing study of the transcendence of the spiral, which mathematics describes as an infinite open curve, with a hypothetical origin and a path based on the golden ratio: an irrational number at the core of our existence, from the microcosm to the macrocosm.
The students were told how the works presented are a reformulation of earlier creations with the help of a rather special partner: artificial intelligence (AI). In the infinite horizon of new technologies, AI represents the most ambitious and intriguing tool, allowing the artist, as Camil stated, “to explore the relationship between the aesthetics produced by traditional drawing methods and the aesthetics generated by machine learning.”

On October 21st, as part of the InterFoto 8.0 – InterGenerational project organized by the Kabaitan Cultural Association, cultural mediation workshops were held at FABER Timișoara during the photography exhibition Roman Franc – Collections, facilitated by Dr. Claudia Bucsai, a cultural mediator.
During the mediation sessions, which were aimed at children with hearing impairments from the Constantin Pufan School Center for Inclusive Education, we discussed the themes of the photographs and imagined who the people photographed by Roman Franc might be. Through a photography session using a film camera, the children experienced analog photography in real time and explored their own identity through the portraits they created. The discussions were facilitated by interpreter Angela Mate using Romanian Sign Language.

Storytelling Workshop for pupils by Claudia Bucsai
2024-10-16 08:00 - 2024-10-17 17:00 | Centru, Timișoara, Timiș, Romania
On October 16th, as part of the InterFoto 8.0 – InterGenerational project organized by the Kabaitan Cultural Association, storytelling workshops facilitated by Dr. Claudia Bucsai, a cultural mediator, and analog photography workshops led by Lecturer Dr. Mădălin Mărienuț, a faculty member from the Photography Department at the Faculty of Arts and Design, Timișoara, took place at FABER Timișoara during the Roman Franc – Collections photography exhibition.
The workshops were attended by students from the Emanuil Ungureanu Technical College, a partner institution in the InterFoto 8.0 – InterGenerational project. The students, alongside their accompanying teachers, were invited to use the photographs in the Roman Franc – Collections exhibition as a window to explore individuality and identity. The goal was to engage the students in creative storytelling based on their own emotions and the narratives evoked by the images.
During the analog photography workshop, students were introduced to the techniques of analog photography and aspects of black-and-white photography aesthetics. Using Roman Franc’s photographs as a reference, the participants transformed into professional photographers. Black-and-white film cameras were provided, and the students were tasked with creating a story through images.
Attached are photos from the artist talk and exhibition opening, captured by Cam Artproject SRL, our photography service provider.

Roman Franc ”Collections”
2024-10-15 08:00 - 17:00
We are honored to invite you to explore the creative world of Czech photographer Roman Franc at the opening of the *Collections* exhibition—a debut retrospective of his work—on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at FABER, Splaiul Peneș Curcanul, no. 4-5, Timișoara. The exhibition is curated by Lecturer Dr. Mădălin Mărienuț.

Roman Franc, a distinguished name in contemporary art, delves into the world of imagery through his unique technique, using large-format cameras that lend each photograph a distinctive depth and character. Known for his unconventional portraits and meticulously composed scenes, Franc captures the human essence with rare emotional intensity and refined technical mastery.

His works are featured in prestigious collections, including the Moravian Gallery in Brno, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, and the Zillman Art Museum.

The *Collections* exhibition is part of the InterFOTO 8.0 – InterGENERATIONAL project, organized by the Kabaitan Cultural Association, and is a central element in the cultural and educational outreach involving various beneficiary groups, both direct and indirect. This project aims to bridge generational gaps by encouraging collaboration and mutual learning between students and young people, as well as adults in challenging circumstances from the D.A.S. Timișoara Day Center. Through photography, artificial intelligence (AI), and new technologies, participants will explore new forms of collaboration and creative expression within a vibrant cultural dialogue.

InterFOTO 8.0 – InterGENERATIONAL is part of the *Culture in the Present 2024* program, funded by the Municipality of Timișoara through the Project Center.

The *Collections* exhibition is also part of the broader *Eighty Plus* initiative, organized by the Faculty of Arts and Design in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the West University of Timișoara.

Preparation and Display of Roman Franc Collections
2024-10-10 00:00
The preparation and display of the ”Roman Franc Collections” exhibition at Faber was a journey of dedication and artistry, shaped by the tireless efforts of the InterFoto team. Like a symphony in the making, every detail demanded attention: the careful unpacking of works, the thoughtful arrangement of each frame, the silent dialogue between light and shadow that would ultimately breathe life into the pieces. It was a labor of love, where each decision carried the weight of respect for the artist and his vision.
The walls of Faber became more than a gallery—they transformed into a sanctuary, a place where stories whispered through images and textures. The team’s hands, both gentle and precise, crafted an experience meant to resonate beyond the room, touching hearts through a profound interplay of color and form.
Equally rewarding was the resonance created online. Through inspired promotion, each post, story, and shared detail became a bridge, inviting a wider audience to engage with Roman Franc’s world. Every like, comment, and share was a quiet echo of appreciation, proof that the art had traveled far beyond the space it inhabited. The digital realm amplified the exhibition’s reach, bringing both satisfaction and a sense of connection to an ever-growing community of art enthusiasts.
This is the beauty of such an endeavor: the weaving together of physical and virtual threads, ensuring the spirit of the collection flourishes in every heart it touches. It is a testament to the power of collaboration, where vision and hard work meet to celebrate the universal language of art.
