Unbreakable bonds between usNatasha Kramskaya Solo Exhibition Exploring the metaphysical: what powerful threads connect us to the places we’re from, the ancestors who came before us, our mothers, fathers, and the people we love, no matter how far the distance? Natasha Kramskaya’s second solo exhibition investigates a state of emotional quantum entanglement: a unified system where we remain connected regardless of the space or time between us. Created over the last few years (from the start of war in Ukraine to the recent loss of her mother), this body of work serves as a visceral bridge between dimensions.

To Mom, 1945-2026 About the Artist: Originally from Ukraine and now based in San José, Natashaʼs work serves as a bridge between two worlds, fusing the traditional with…
@lt5+ a Photography Showof images created through Photograms, Pinhole, Plastic, Polaroid & alt Processcurated by Robertino Ragazza @lt5+ process is a photography exhibition centered on experimental works created through historical alternative processes, highlighting camera-less and low fidelity techniques that embrace tactility, chance, and material exploration. Photograms, made without camera, rely on direct contact between objects and light-sensitive surfaces to produce unique impressions. Pinhole photography uses a light-tight chamber with a small aperture to project inverted images, resulting in soft, atmospheric, and time-based photographs that emphasize duration and subtle movement. Plastic camera photography expands this experimental language through the use of inexpensive, plastic-bodied cameras such as Diana, Holga, and Lomo. Their optical imperfections-light leaks, vignetting, distortion, and soft focus-produce lo-fi images that prioritize mood, spontaneity, and unpredictability over technical precision. Additional alternative processes presented in the exhibition include cyanotype, polaroid lights, and image transfers, each emphasizing materials intervention and hands-on manipulation.…
