Deborah Orloff: Elusive Memory

Deborah Orloff’s Elusive Memory consists of works from her ongoing series of the same name. Utilizing personal archives and damaged family photos as her subject matter, Orloff crafts a meditation on the tenuousness of memory, exploring the complicated link between photographs and remembrance, and how stories of the past are often conflated or misremembered. Her work examines this shortcoming of photography, which is normally perceived as a reliable source of truth.
