I did the last bit of research in St.Margaret’s in March and this was done with a rather stinking cold and I fear that I did not only collect information but also was passing on more than a fair share of Bristol germs. After all, there is such a thing as reciprocity. However, I was quite lucky and stayed with two guys who were in the process of setting up a raw chocolate workshop and I had to do a lot of sampling.
I am a PhD candidate in the Photography Department at the University of Plymouth and receive research funding from the University of Plymouth and The 3d3 Center for Doctoral Training Programme. The focus of my practice research is on ‘Photography and its Contribution to the Understanding of Digital Porosity’. I exhibit widely, both nationally and internationally and have undertaken various residencies f.e. in New York, Rome or Victoria Baths in Manchester. To date, I have been awarded two major fellowships (Arts Council Austria, City of Bremen), the Prize for Visual Art of Upper Austria, and a Research Fellowship at Southampton Institute. website: www.claudiapilsl.com blog: https://loosespace.wordpress.com/ instagram: in_search_of_place
