Jessica Thalmann
Jessica Thalmann holds a Master of Fine Arts in Advanced Photographic Studies from ICP-Bard College and a BFA in Visual Arts from York University. Thalmann likes to mess with photography, to test its limits. Whether bending, tearing, tessellating or folding, she coaxes images of structural solidity (she has an abiding interest in brutalist architecture) to accommodate dimensional interventions to their representative, utopian angularity. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at Aperture Foundation, International Centre for Photography, and Humble Arts Foundation (New York); VIVO Media Arts Centre (Vancouver); Varley Art Gallery of Markham (Markham); Art Gallery of Mississauga and Blackwood Gallery at UTM (Mississauga); Museum of Contemporary Art, Harbourfront Centre, and Gallery TPW (Toronto).

Latent Images On My SkinLobbies, doorways, and escalators populate Toronto artist Jessica Thalmann’s video essay, Latent Images On My Skin. A rumination on time as a measure of distance, as a transformational space that converts experience into lingering imprint, the work traces the history of photographic chemistry, folding in photography’s earliest pioneers (and friends) John Herschel and Julia Margaret Cameron. -
