Overview

Dashwood is proud to announce the publication of Geography, the first monograph by Brooklyn-born artist and photographer, Zora Sicher. Sicher is known for her work exploring the boundaries between photography and film with an unflinching focus on the uncensored human body. She often investigates themes of identity, diversity, and the intersection of ancient and modern photographic processes. Sicher previously co-authored Treasure with Paloma Elsesser, which documented the model’s breast surgeries. In Geography she draws upon her personal archives from 2011 to the present day photographing her inner circle of friends. The opening lines of the introductory text by the art critic and independent curator, Gaby Cepeda speaks to the ephemeral quality of her photographs and the simple yet lofty goal of this body of work. ""Is it possible to get rid of oneself? Can we materialize our own experience, conveniently frame it in a neat (or slightly messy) snapshot and pour into it our most embodied memories, so we can stash them away, putting a final, pretty bow on the closed box that is the gift of our own past?"" Sicher’s main concern seems to be the human condition from her own very personal perspective exploring the relationships around her to encapsulate the nature of her practice. Designed by Paris based designer, filmmaker and publisher, Manon Lutanie with texts by Gaby Cepeda and Tiger Hutchence-Archer. There will be an exhibition by Zora Sicher curated by Philo Cohen at Dashwood Projects, 63 East 4th Street, in New York in October, 2025.
