Tatiana Kronberg: Dream Body
A bright orb of electricity, known as ball lightning, floated through the open window of my father鈥檚 bedroom in Gorky, Russia, when he was a boy. It circled around and left through the same window, leaving him unharmed but inspired to become a physicist. This memory, fractured in every re-telling, resonates in Dream Body as a quick flash of light. While making photograms in the darkroom, I substitute my father鈥檚 body with my own and use a number of objects, masks, and refracting tools to draw with light on the surface of the photo paper. My body is one of these devices 鈥攁nother aperture鈥攚hile the paper acts as a recorder. 鈥� Tatiana Kronberg, 2019
321 Gallery presents Dream Body, a solo show of new photograms by Tatiana Kronberg. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and based in Brooklyn, the artist employs photograms, performance, and sculpture in an exploration of images as active events. This is her first exhibition with 321 Gallery. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US in solo shows at Adds Donna, Chicago; Essex Flowers, New York; and Joan, Los Angeles. Her work has also been exhibited at Shanaynay, Paris; International Center of Photography, New York; Motel, Brooklyn; and Artists Space, New York. She holds an MFA from Bard-ICP in Advanced Photographic Studies.
