It is with great sadness that we inform you about the passing of Paulo Chicareli , who graduated from BA Photography Part-time Compact in July 2025. We are deeply saddened and our thoughts are with all his loved ones.

Paulo passed away in a hospital in Amsterdam, in the early morning of Tuesday, April 14. His passing was caused by a spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage which happened the evening before.

Featured project: Year 2 student Leon Griessmayr .leon ‘F*ucking Clever Guide to Face Recognition’.

Leon: ‘On average, I unlock my iPhone 107 times a day.
Each time, it captures infrared images of my face and compares them to a database created two years ago. For a long time, I thought this was magic. How could it recognize me with new hairstyles, glasses, or a mask, and pick me out of eight billion people?
The truth is simpler and stranger: the camera turns my face into geometrical data points. Each unlock updates a continuous feedback loop, teaching the system how I look in everyday scenarios. While this felt personal and human it actually is raw data, part of a vast network of recognition.

In this project, l use self-portraiture to explore how computers ‘see’ me and how facial recognition systems interpret my images. Through the process, I also experiment with ways to hide from these systems, investigating how everyday visibility can be disrupted and how privacy might be reclaimed in a world shaped by algorithmic vision.

How does the way computers ‘see’ shape how we are monitored and represented in everyday life?’

(Somewhat belated) Congratulations to Year 3 student Eliza Kabila on winning Wild Cherry award from Research Labs of Eye Filmmuseum for her short film „do you know what the colour green means?”.

Following estranged uncle in her native Poland, Eliza crafts a raw and intimate video work that confronts a harsh reality of aftermath of addiction, depression and misjudgement at the core of the subject’s life.

from the jury report:
“ […] It is a visually clever film, with a lot of attention to the surroundings, combined with a personal yet recognisable story about a family situation. The film ticked both the narrative and visual boxes, and did so in an almost cosmically connecting way. Everything felt right to us, and that is why this is the winner.”

Research Labs have been offered at KABK as Individual Study Trajectory course led by teachers Anna Abrahams and Jan Frederik Groot.

Hello everyone,

My name is Negin Kazemi. I am an Iranian artist based in The Hague and currently studying photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Working primarily with photography, my practice moves between image, archive, and narrative to investigate how personal experience can become a space for critical reflection

These photographs are part of a larger body of work I began in 2021. It explores the intricate interplay of love, resistance, transformation and banishment under the Islamic Republic of Iran’s dictatorship. This work delves into how political power infiltrates the most intimate aspects of life shaping memory, desire, belonging and identity. Through family archival materials self-portraits and storytelling, I reflect on how personal and inherited narratives are formed, fractured and reclaimed under ideological control.

This work views the intimate as a contested political space. It questions how authoritarian violence permeates everyday life and how collective memory and cultural inheritance might unite what oppression seeks to divide. Consequently, it approaches personal narrative not merely as testimony but as a site of resistance reclaiming forms of selfhood and history that predate and transcend the regime’s attempts to redefine them.
