Built by Austrian architect Rudolph M. Schindler in 1922, the house was both a social and design experiment and an avant-garde hub for intellectuals and artists in the 1920s and '30s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor this project, Kuhn collaborated with the Department of History of Art and Architecture at UC Santa Barbara and gained access to Schindler's private archives, including blueprints, letters, and notes. Alongside reproducing some of these for the first time in this book, Kuhn reinterprets the dichotomy between memory and record in a series of colour photos and solarised gelatin silver prints, a technique favoured by the Surrealists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe enigmatic subject of her solarised pictures is a fictional, ethereal figure inspired by a letter from Schindler to a mysterious woman. Kuhn's impressionistic photos render this female presence physical, even as it seems to be dematerialising: fleeting images that question the very nature of photography as record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455649595628,"sku":"9783958297555","price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61BiPE7PNoL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774789763","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mona-kuhn-kings-road-by-mona-kuhn-9783958297555","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
