Niko Krivanek: Dear Sally, Love Mom

Until Jan 8, 2022

Dear Sally, Love Mom is a photographic love letter to Niko Krivanek’s mother, Sally, incarcerated since XXXX. Krivanek’s photographs portray the areas of his life impacted and influenced by his mother’s incarceration. The photos function as a collaboration between Krivanek and a version of his mother, who is continually absent from daily life and from whose distance, creating a sense of unknowing. His photographs poetically illustrate the toll mass incarceration has on the lives of real families.

Krivanek’s spent his life fighting against ideas of a “normal” family unit and validating the unorthodox way he, his parents, and sibling have moved forward as a family despite the circumstances. His mother’s family photographs serve as subscripts and superscripts for the images in Dear Sally, Love Mom.
