THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF ML KIRCHNER

How Narrative Works in Serial Photography and How We Look at Pictures

To look into a Kirchner picture is to enter a 20 x 20-inch space rich in possible narratives and depths of meaning that stay with you long after you have moved on. Shapes, lines, shadows, and patches of light come together around her mysterious subjects, and, as in the most interesting work of photographers, these unique combinations sketch at the outlines of stories.
