The project "At Silver Lake" by Susan Isaacson is a reconsideration of family photos. The process of re-photographing old Kodachrome slides allows for new consideration of time and place, of people and memory. She has “invited refracted light, environmental intrusions, and focal plane manipulations to transform the images.” These new efforts have a layer of magic, dust particles that not only speak to the past but to something intangible and mysterious.

Spending childhood and adolescence in my grandparent’s house, I only got warmth from that place. Not just from one house or a yard, but from a whole village. Now, when I go back to that Morichbunia village, I only get the heat of development which ruined the land, the economy, the people’s last asset, and everything possible. Payra Power Plant Project started in 2014, and since then the Dhaankhali Union of Bangladesh has been facing ruins every day. Visibly, the loss was only of lands. But losing lands also changes shelter, culture, agriculture, memories, kinship system, and even identity.

Sarah Lazure’s series “Sarah” features raw, visceral, realistic self-portraits that command the audience’s attention, free from the beauty standards seen throughout the history of photography. The imperfect surface of the work demanding the viewer’s acceptance as it is. [Greg Banks/Lenscratch] #photography #photographers #sarahlazure #lenscratch #selfportraits #selfportrait

"Gary Owens creates these sculptural collages using images from antique magazines and artificial intelligence. While many photographers have dismissed the potential of A.I., I’ve always believed someone would do something remarkable with it."

“Stories are community knowledge. What one person learns becomes a lesson for all. My work centers around what truths a story can teach us. By recontextualizing mediums such as bookmaking, sculpture, beading, photography, and collage, I look to present new ways through which we can examine our pasts, the natural world, and the complexities of identity and community.” [Epiphany Knedler] #photography #photographers #photoproject #lenscratch #epiphanycouch #epiphanyknedler

Chilean visual artist Amanda Sotelo Silva mines the history of a country that still bleeds from the burdensome scars left by colonial, state, and military violence. In her political collages, the artist reassembles found photographs, historical texts, and poetry into melancholiously mutilated compositions. The works reveal an artist’s surgical attempts to make sense of her country’s shattered and convoluted historical consciousness.

Manifest | Thirteen Colonies is a photographic project and journey through the repositories of African American material culture found in libraries, museums, and archives of the original thirteen English colonies and Washington, DC. Conceived by photographer Wendel A. White, this project is a personal reliquary of the remarkable evidence of Black agency and racial oppression stored in public collections. (…) For this project, White photographed African-American materials housed in private and public collections throughout the thirteen original United States colonies and Washington, D.C. His subjects are rare, singular objects and everyday material. Some images are related to famous historical figures (…). Some are connected to less known figures.

Anna Reed is a Chicago-based artist whose work addresses the themes of identity, posthumanism, fragmentation, and the boundaries of virtual space. Born into Atari and grappling with AI she is continually curious about the intersection of humanity and tech. Created through Xerox, scans, and other low-fi devices, she often uses her body as source images. [Lenscratch] #photography #photographers #annareed #atari #ai #tech #lenscratch
