Maya Fuhr
Sole Parts
a special project curated by Nikki Peck

Sole Parts brings together Maya Fuhr’s photographs of shoes coated and encased in latex and abstract scans, pushing them beyond their original function and identity into a suspended state between commodity and relic. Working across analog photography and sculptural media such as latex, aluminum, and tape, Fuhr treats the photograph as an inherently unstable medium—one whose surface can crease, glisten, and fold under its own material weight, and whose relation to accuracy and reality is increasingly uncertain. Building on Fuhr’s editorial and commercial photographic practice, images once intended to seduce are now consumed by their material form, caught in the tension between glamour and decay.

Fuhr’s work articulates a poetics of containment and maintenance. These gestures operate both as acts of care and as mechanisms of concealment, tracing the unseen labour that sustains visual allure. In this way, Sole Parts makes visible the material and affective infrastructures that choreograph desire: the surfaces that preserve, the hands that perfect, and the quiet systems through which the image maintains its hold.

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 16, 6- 8pm
