The Project

Following the death of her father in 2014, Dalia Johananoff Kenneth, a photographer, discovered a forgotten treasure of tens of thousands of negatives and prints shot by him in the 50’s and 60’s, and self-developed in a tiny space turned into a darkroom at home. 

While sieving and scanning through his prints, she found photographic language sometimes-incredibly compatible, other-times foreign but always resonating within. The images, whether hers or her father’s, enable and compel her to revisit their relationship, and her identity as a woman and an artist. Using visual sentences, timeless fragmented collages, Mistaken Memories portrays a platform of visual dialogue between the artist and her memories
