Camerales Gestures at Hagen Hus Gallery

Written By R. J. Kern

I’ll present Cameraless Gestures, a one-night exhibition at Hagen Hus Gallery in Eagan on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 4–7 p.m. Approximately fifteen unique silver gelatin chemigrams, created with expired photographic paper, chemistry, gesture, and time, will be on view and available for purchase.

The exhibition brings together selections from Ethereal Echoes, which I began during my 2025 artist residency at Lakewood Cemetery exploring mortality and remembrance, and Magnetic: Fields, in which I use magnets as photographic resists to explore attraction, repulsion, and human connection. Embracing chance and material transformation, these works reflect my interest in photography as a physical, handcrafted medium.

Please join me for the reception, free and open to the public, at Hagen Hus Gallery, 4640 Nicols Road, Suite 203, Eagan, MN 55122.

Special thank you to Kara Hildreth for her article in the Dakota County Tribune » promoting the show.
