The Chemistry of Memory is Lara Porzak’s first monograph, bringing together more than 140 photographs from three decades of work, many never published before. Made entirely with analog processes, including tintypes and gelatin silver prints, the images move between landscapes, animals, flora, celestial forms, and the traces of human presence. Together they ask what a photograph can hold onto: a moment of light, a passing feeling, the sense of having been there.
