Psychodrama
Jill Frank

Frank's exhibition, titled “Psychodrama,” expands on the form of psychotherapy by asking her subjects to sit before the camera to record & memorialize some of their most traumatic, awkward, and embarrassing moments. The creation of these missing pictures negates the generally accepted custom of employing photography to anchor memories of happy times & celebration. Frank's photographs of the re-performances of these experiences function as the only documentation of the original event, as well as the act of acting them out, resulting in photographs that inhabit a space where they were previously absent.
