Sophia Chefalo
Sophia’s practice emerges from photography but deliberately pushes beyond its conventional limits, treating the medium as a launching point for unprecedented forms of image-making. She creates conceptual cameras that fracture temporal continuity, questioning what photography can become rather than what it has been. Working in photography’s “zone of relativity,” her approach combines historical techniques with critical ethnography to reveal how images both disclose and erase, demonstrating how meaning emerges from the tension between presence and absence in ways that fundamentally reimagine how visual experience might shape our perception of time and reality.
