Kamille Kirschling is an installation artist who works with large-format photographs. They expose the melancholy of memory held in midwestern suburban houses, developments, and spaces. Analyzing the economic promise of progress and what remains left behind in its shadow. Photography allows the deconstruction and abstraction of the home to capture the rhythm of presence and absence. Tracing how memories evolve through continuous re-remembering and lay latent to resurface through surroundings. They construct installations using the elements of photography to explore ambiguity within the process of image-making while questioning how technology affects our perception of reality and certainty.
