PETRA MALA MILLER
The Voice Reached Us Through the Floor, but the Words Themselves Were Lost
11 February - 2 April, 2011
Born in former Czechoslovakia, Petra Mala Miller grew up in Blatnice, a village in southern Moravia.
Her photographic work explores the poetics of childhood, of innocence, memory and loss and raises questions surrounding cultural identity, the individual, the family and the community.
By reconstructing incidents from her past and placing them within the present, Petra Mala Miller filters experiences, memories and reveries through an emotional process of recollection and translation. Her work takes place at the intersection between the real and the imaginary, between truth and fiction, memory and forgetting.
