Sonia Rosa Kahn (b. 1999, London, UK) is a U.S.-based artist whose interdisciplinary practice combines moving image, printmaking and installation. Her work examines the reproduction of photographic images and their social and material lifespans. Through processes of erosion, oxidation, and chemical development, her alchemical interventions in both film and printed matter test the stability of pictures and narratives through time. Kahn’s work has been shown both in the U.S. and internationally, including recent exhibitions at the Hudson River Museum, Parent Company Gallery, The Baltic Analog Lab and Hua International Berlin. Her films are distributed through the Filmmakers Cooperative in New York. Kahn received her BA from Columbia University and is currently an MFA candidate at Yale University in Painting/Printmaking.
