Fade Like a Sigh: Zora Murff & Rana Young

October 7 – November 7 2024

Together, Zora Murff and Rana Young began mining their own family histories, exploring the void left by an absent parent. The images in Fade Like a Sigh reflect their dialogues of this shared experience. Using their personal small collections of family photographs and reinterpreting them through their own contemporary imagery, Murff and Young highlight the complicated relationship between photographic record and the fragmented and abstract nature of memory.

Zora Murff and Rana Young are artists and educators based in Providence, RI; both earned their MFA in Studio Art at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Their work has been written about for Hyperallergic and British Journal of Photography, featured by Huffington Post, published in-print with LensCulture and Gnomic Book, and was collected by SFMoMA. Exhibitions of their work have been hosted by Glass Gallery (University of Georgia), Brick City East Gallery (Missouri State University), and Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Art (Nebraska City, NE). Their curatorial project, Take it from Here, featuring artworks by ten emerging photographers who use the camera as a multifaceted site of imagination, play and self-exploration, was awarded an exhibition at Filter Space (Chicago, IL) in 2021. The catalogue from this exhibition, published by There, There Now, was awarded a juror’s special mention at the 2021 Paris Photo Aperture Photo Book Awards.
