KELLI CONNELL

"The events portrayed in these photographs look believable, yet have never

occurred." Kelli Connell on her work, Double Life

 

Kelli Connell’s body of work entitled Double Life has been widely received

and included in numerous national and international exhibitions. In the work

she photographs the same model, and using digital manipulation, creates the

illusion of two women involved in a relationship. The images are inspired by

private relationships she has experienced herself or witnessed in other.

Connell holds an MFA from Texas Women's University in Denton, TX. Her

work is in the collections of Microsoft; Los Angeles County Museum of Art;

Columbus Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of

Contemporary Photography, Chicago; The Dallas Museum of Art, and Light

Work. Recent publications of her work include Photo Art: The New World of

Photography published by Aperture; Vitamin Ph: New Perspectives in

Photography published by Phaidon; and MP3: Midwest Photographers'

Publication Project co-published by Aperture and The Museum of

Contemporary Photography (http://www.mocp.org/collections/mpp/).

 

Kelli Connell teaches at Columbia College Chicago. Additional images can be

viewed at www.kelliconnell.com. In addition to talking about her work, she

will also provide an introduction to the MP3 project which offers a rotating

collection of portfolios by prominent and emerging photographers from Illinois,

Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin.

 

More of Kelli's work can be seen at www.kelliconnell.com. Kelli Connell's

lecture will take place Thursday, October 7 at 7 p.m. at the Center for
