Intro
A new series of Proof images based on photographers’ proofs surviving in the family files, together with around a dozen objects – some presented as objets trouvés, others reworked as artist objects – make up an elegaic Kunstkammer of the archive at the Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Foundation. Proof is at once a repository for things real, for the memories attached to those real things, and for projections onto those things and those memories. It is thus an equivalent triangle, constructed with precision out of paper, dust, tree rings, blood, empty spaces, and strange forms of nourishment and sustenance.
