Suniko Bazargarid: Where would we find you if we need to find you?
BAXTER ST at the Camera Club of New York is pleased to present Where would we find you if we
need to find you?, an exhibition of new and recent works by Mongolian photographer Suniko Bazargarid. On view from September 10, 2025 鈥� November 12, 2025, the exhibition weaves together personal and archival imagery to explore the psychological, spatial, and bureaucratic tensions that shape the experience of migration and memory.
Drawing on her own transitory upbringing between Boston, Singapore, Bangkok, and Mongolia, Bazargarid explores the contrast between intimacy and distance, reflecting her many departures and returns. Analog and digital photography, interspersed with documents such as passports, ID photos, and stamps, form layered visual essays that expose the logistical challenges of crossing borders. These are set against the emotional and spiritual weight of displacement鈥攖he desire to leave, the pull to return, and the uncanny experience of encountering one鈥檚 homeland as a visitor. Through these layered journeys, the work also gestures toward the evolving, and at times, elusive nature of diasporic identity, shaped as much by migration, memory, and landscape as by inherited tradition.
The exhibition鈥檚 title comes from a question asked of the artist by a border patrol officer. 鈥淲here would we find you if we need to find you?鈥� is both a practical inquiry and a charged reminder of regulation, visibility, and control.
Images of expansive Mongolian landscapes appear throughout the work, providing visual stillness and moments of reflection. These open vistas are juxtaposed with everyday details鈥� multilingual signage,and stamped passport pages鈥攖hat raise questions about what we carry with us, what we leave behind, and how space is transformed by presence and absence.
