What is <strong>ISSP</strong>?<br />
<strong>ISSP</strong> is <strong>the</strong> possibility to take <strong>the</strong> time to reflect, to<br />
explore, to stop <strong>the</strong> routine <strong>and</strong> have a look at what<br />
we are doing, at what o<strong>the</strong>rs are doing in a sort<br />
of international intimacy, putting people from all<br />
around <strong>the</strong> world in <strong>the</strong> same room. It’s also kind of<br />
a horizontal <strong>and</strong> friendly space where even if we are<br />
doing hard <strong>and</strong> powerful works, we still can laugh<br />
<strong>and</strong> entertain ourselves.<br />

<strong>ISSP</strong> is something suspicious...<br />
Ga<strong>the</strong>ring masses of people on some strange<br />
locations in Eastern Europe... People are often seen<br />
walking around with cameras, taking pictures of <strong>the</strong><br />
surroundings.<br />
I don't know... I would suggest that someone do an<br />
investigation on <strong>the</strong>m. Maybe a documentary photography<br />
project would be a great way to do it.<br />

<strong>ISSP</strong> is a chaos of synergies!<br />

It’s a photography blast in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> woods.<br />

Can we be ironic?<br />
Are we allowed to laugh?<br />
I think it is a multidimensional experience that<br />
reaches much higher <strong>and</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r points of reality<br />
than that which we usually think photography can.<br />
Somehow in <strong>ISSP</strong>, photography is everything <strong>and</strong><br />
everything can be reached through photography. It<br />
is more a metaphor than a practical technique.<br />

I have been taking part in <strong>the</strong> <strong>ISSP</strong> for 5 years now,<br />
as part of <strong>the</strong> staff. Although I have never participated<br />
practically in any workshops in my career as<br />
a photographer, because I do not believe that such<br />
short-term experiences can actually help students to<br />
carry out interesting works on <strong>the</strong> place or to learn<br />
some methodologies to be applied to <strong>the</strong>ir artistic<br />
practice, I was able to see how an experience like<br />
<strong>ISSP</strong> is something different, beyond <strong>the</strong> simple formative/academic<br />
aspect.<br />
<strong>ISSP</strong> is a family that has met every year for 13 years,<br />
in which <strong>the</strong>re are people like staff members <strong>and</strong><br />
some guests <strong>and</strong> tutors who meet every year, <strong>and</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs like <strong>the</strong> students who come here for <strong>the</strong> first<br />
