Working firmly with 35mm and pinhole film cameras, the late Kym O’Donnell composed her characters in otherworldly realms, crafting tangible tokens that often reference classic cinema and music. The players inhabit fairgrounds and graveyards, building narratives fueled by nostalgia, beckoning viewers beyond the veil to wander memory’s landscapes.

“I wanted to make photos that looked like the type of films that I yearned to be in.” — Kym O’Donnell in Creative Loafing Tampa, 2016.
