Description

Surface Thing exhibition comprises three photographic projects made between 2018 and 2021, Mouthing, Self-Portraits While Buried, and Birth Rehearsal, all of which portray various types of self-portraits. The show presents works about the body and the earth in ways that are spiritual, feminist, and ecological through a humorous and existential perspective. Calivas’ black and white images can unexpectedly taunt us, at once generous and withholding, still and active. Her pictures are part of photography’s long conversation about the tension between chance (the decisive moment) and control (the staged).

This catalog includes an essay by Light Work’s associate director Whitney Hubbs.
