Nicholas Muellner will present Making Doubles, a scripted slide show based on the opening essay of his new book, Lacuna Park: Essays and Other Adventures in Photography (SPBH Editions, 2019).
Incorporating dozens of images not included in the book – from old iPhone photos to Muellner’s newest experiments in portraiture – this illustrated reading attempts to trace links between our own appearances in images, and our ongoing submission to the seductions of coercive ideology. Intertwining memoir, reportage, fiction and theory, Muellner’s new image-text book asks: what is existentially at stake today in the making and viewing of photographs?
A book signing will be held after the presentation, with copies of Lacuna Park available for purchase.
