Mnemonic Studies

Mnemonic Studies is spontaneous, a brightly inspired seduction of Berlin’s mist blanketed forests and rolling hills. "It's so bright there you can barely see," Yon said. "You'd come to these points where you couldn't really see the difference between the sky and the sand anymore. You felt you were in the middle of nowhere. I was interested in that lack of understanding the horizon line, of not knowing your place." Her stripped down brown and white prints take inspiration from the 19th-century technique of gum bichromate, a multi-layered printing technique that renders photographs messy and yet eerily perfect, an unrehearsed mix of an ink print and a painting.
