In Kings Road Mona Kuhn lyrically reconsiders the realms of time
and space within the architectural elements of the Schindler
House in Los Angeles. 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.
For this project Kuhn collaborated with the Architecture and
Design Collection at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum of
the University of California, 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 color photos, and solarized gelatin silver
prints, a technique favored by the Surrealists. The enigmatic
subject of her solarized 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 dematerializing: fleeting images that
question the very nature of photography as record.
I’m most comfortable representing the nude as minimal,
timeless, almost monastic. But this time, I wanted to tran scend the physical limitations of our presence, of our body,
and cross the elements of time and space. Mona Kuhn
