In a world where images circulate faster than ever, The Broken Telephone (with images) offers architecture students a playful yet critical reflection on how visual meaning changes through repetition, reinterpretation, and mediation.
Facilitated by Laurian Ghinițoiu, architecture photographer, and Marius Vasile, architect and photographer, the two-day workshop (4–5 November, Baia Turcească) transforms the children’s “telephone” game into an experiment in image communication. Each participant receives an image, reinterprets it freely, and passes it along. As the chain continues, the visual story gradually shifts, revealing how meaning can blur, mutate, or reemerge through perception and intention.
The entire sequence of images will be exhibited on 6 November, exposing both the distortions and poetic reinterpretations that occur in the act of visual translation.
Open to 15 participants, the workshop encourages curiosity, playfulness, and a critical eye toward image-making and perception.
Applications are open until 20 October via the online form.
