Visual artist Isha Naguiat’s maiden solo exhibition at Galerie Stephanie entitled Photo of a Photo is a retelling of the power of nostalgia with a current sociopolitical perspective. Geared with her use of cyanotype prints and embroidery, her artworks progress from the idea of memories as idealized landscapes of the past—a growing disquisition of why these visual documentations are always more than what they initially seem. Naguiat utilizes the concept of family photos as portrayals of a much bigger story. She invites us on a pursuit of the intertextuality of histories that once shaped lives—retold, rewritten and reconsidered—to draw out the truths we choose to continue to live with.
