For Frieze London 2025, Company Gallery is pleased to present a solo presentation in the Artist-to-Artist section featuring Katherine Hubbard, nominated by Nicole Eisenman. This presentation continues her project with her mother, Antonette Berger, in Berger’s Philadelphia home. Initiated in 2020, the work began as Berger was experiencing severe memory loss and was later diagnosed with LATE, a brain disease resembling Alzheimer’s. Using two 4x5 film cameras, they move through the house with props and mirrors, creating images that echo daily rituals.

The representational photographs are complemented by unique body prints made by Hubbard and her mother in a traditional black and white darkroom. These experimental contact photographs are one-to-one scale with the body and allow the proximity between Hubbard and Berger to materialize intimacy through their physicality with the photographic paper. Hubbard’s work draws on the home’s architecture, touch, and gesture to reflect a bond shaped by love, routine, and the shifting landscape of memory and loss.

“I use photography to enter my mom’s world as a kind of balm and relief from all the feelings born from needing her to remain in this one—I believe deeply that photography is a form of sociality and a way of being in the world. In this case, I am using the camera as a means of creating time with my mom, apart from the brutal task of managing her. Photography transforms her home from a space which overwhelms me into a stage where the accumulation of her life’s collections and a perverse sense of composition become the world of the image.”
