Kym O'Donnell USA Tampa Born
1970- Cincinnati, Ohio- USA The
works are part of an as yet untitled series inspired by German
theater, cabaret and film performers of the 1920's.
The
pieces presented for OFFO 2011 were created on a variety of homemade
pinhole cameras as well as 35mm retrofitted with a pinhole lens. Many
of the prints were achieved by placing tiny negatives in an enlarger
and expanding them to unlikely dimensions that enhance the grain and
otherworldly haziness inherent in a pinhole photograph.
