The lecture
In this lecture, Alisa Resnik traces the development of her photographic practice, which emerged spontaneously even before it became a conscious form of research.
By gradually removing traces of modernity, her images move away from recognisable geographies and clearly defined periods, opening onto a more ambiguous, emotional, and universal dimension. The lecture explores the relationship between people, places, and visual memory: how an image can emerge when something briefly finds its own balance, and how a specific detail can speak to everyone without losing its uniqueness.
It also examines how editing can become not merely a process of selection, but one of discovery, capable of revealing hidden connections and shaping the meaning of a project.
What's inside
Key topics
- 01How a photographic body of work can develop over time, transforming spontaneous intuitions into recurring and recognisable themes.
- 02The role of faces, gestures, and subtle expressions in creating images charged with presence, ambiguity, and tension.
- 03How images can move beyond a specific geography and open onto a more suspended and universal dimension.
- 04The removal of signs of modernity as a visual choice through which to create images that are more essential, mysterious, and timeless.
- 05Editing as a creative process capable of revealing hidden connections and shaping the meaning of a project.

Authors & contributors
Alisa Resnik was born in 1976 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and moved to Berlin in 1990. After studying art history between Berlin and Bologna, she began photographing in 2008, developing an intimate, nocturnal, and suspended visual language that moves between portraiture, emotional landscape, and memory.
In 2013 she won the European Publishers Award for Photography with One Another, published simultaneously in five international editions. The following year she was shortlisted for the Oskar Barnack Award. In 2021 she published her second book, On The Night That We Leave, with Éditions Lamaindonne.
Her work has been shown at numerous international festivals, museums, and galleries, including Leica Gallery Paris, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Les Rencontres d'Arles, Noorderlicht Festival, Fotoleggendo, and Galerie Sit Down Paris, which currently represents her.
Her photographs have appeared in publications such as The New York Times International, Libération, Die Zeit, Lettre International, Burn Magazine, and GUP.
She is a member of the collective TEMPS ZERO.
