In a lecture-performance by artist Elisheva Gavra, she will present images from her ongoing portrait photography series "Plates of Appearance" (2020-) The series depicts repeated appearances of the same character, embodied by different sitters in each portrait. Through her project of visually capturing the elusive woman-type figure, she will tell her story of how the practice of photography set her on a quest to achieve union with a bodiless, featureless and footless presence. During the lecture, Gavra will make a case for an artistic response to technology, and demonstrate a practice of photography that offers a different way of engaging with the world.

"A Contemporary Guide to Looking at Photographs" will be on display at Now Studios (715 N University Ave bsmt, Ann Arbor, MI 48104) from November 11 - November 15.
