Veva Leye, Jelle Martens, KIOSKexpoAgendaArtistic activitiesDrawing from seemingly endlessly proliferating word sequences—which arise from a single word through a simple rule and through association—Veva Leye creates montages that present the same words in completely different ways. Uncannily coagulating, these word images expand and contract in an accordion-like movement. A similar rhythm characterizes Jelle Martens’ (photo)graphic registrations that combine fragments, reproductions and trivial observations into layered prints and drawings. Every print layer, every drawing operates as a temporary frame bringing together images that only temporarily solidify, overlap, and fall apart again. Image and language tumble along, stumble upon. Letters form words form images reading looking.

personal data
- recent passport photograph
- formal information about yourself
written motivation
Written motivation: why do you choose to study photography and KASK Photography in particular.
portfolio
You will bring your portfolio to the interview during the exam, so you do not need to submit it digitally.
Your portfolio requires some preparation: you will make a representative selection of images that illustrate your interest in art and photography in particular.
These can be your own images, but also sources of inspiration. Think about what we stand for as a KASK photography course. Candidates who have little or no artistic work can also take part in the test. You will bring back your personal work from the file after the test.
Please note! If you want to show something digitally or online, you must bring your own laptop.
The written test consists of three sections. The first is a list of words or proper nouns that the student must define as accurately as possible. This is followed by two text excerpts. The student summarizes the first one in their own words. The second serves as the basis for a short opinion piece. The goal is to allow the examination committee to form an impression of the candidate’s general knowledge and theoretical background, as well as to assess their language proficiency and ability to reason.
Interests, general and cultural knowledge, thinking skills, creative attitudes and understanding of image making will be explored. Important qualities are: critical sense, commitment, drive, love of photography and art, perseverance, self-discipline and the ability to put things into perspective.
You must also be able to discuss your image file during the one-on-one interview.
Bring a working smartphone or digital camera. Make sure the battery is fully charged. You will be asked to take photographs at different times.
It is not important that the pictures are technically correct, but that they can form the basis of a conversation about imaging, photography and content expectations.
If you have little or no previous experience, you are welcome to take this test.
The timetable, what is expected and how to upload the images will be communicated on the first day of the entrance test.
Please note that locations and times are subject to change. Changes will be communicated on the spot.
On the last day of the session, there will be deliberations and proclamations.
The proclamation is done on campus, the results are not communicated by phone or mail. The candidates who are not accepted will be given the opportunity for a post-proclamation discussion.
