Photography, multimedia and sound installation. The enigmatic subject of Kuhn’s series is an imagined, ethereal figure inspired by a letter from the famed architect R.M. Schindler to a mysterious lover. Shot in the 1920s modernist house designed and built by Schindler on Kings Road in West Hollywood, each portrait is solarized, a technique favored by master surrealists in the 1920s, including Lee Miller and Man Ray. The resulting impressionistic images question the very nature of lyrical fiction and photography as a record, capturing the physical presence of this mysterious woman even as it appears to dematerialize.
