SF Photobook Fair

Saturday, October 18: 11 AM – 5 PM  

Sunday, October 19: 10 AM – 4 PM  

The amazing Harvey Milk Photo Center will host over 30 tables of publishers and vendors selling and promoting photography books, magazines, and zine publications during this free, two-day weekend event. I will participate with other BAPC photographers including Alison Taggart-Barone and John Martin.

 

I will be presenting a prototype edition of my ongoing book project 5 Years, 6 Feet Apart, a photographic and essay-based exploration of the symbols and markings that defined how we navigated public space during the pandemic. Developed through exhibitions and conversations with curators and writers, the project brings together images, text, and research around the emotional and spatial residue of those temporary instructions.

It includes 5 sections of images that turn my installations into a book form. It includes my own writings as well as 2 essays by contributors:

  • “The Aesthetics of Peril and Panic” by Renny Pritikin (Formerly the chief curator of The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco)
  • “Lines, Loss, and the Gravity of Time“ by Christopher Lee (a medical epidemiologist focused on global epidemic and pandemic preparedness, detection, and response)

Another giant inspiring installation by @for_site Another giant inspiring installation by @for_site at fort mason.
“They are not accidents. It is a matter of working “They are not accidents. It is a matter of working inside parameters versus outside of them. The process completes itself and has a say in the artistic vision that the artist intentionally sets out.” I hope I did justice to this quote from my notes from the artist. talk by John Chiara. Inspiring Work and an epic commitment to the process. Great to see some old friends here at the event and great to hear some of the behind the scenes secrets after looking up close at these giant images.
I’m so glad to catch this show before it closed. Y I’m so glad to catch this show before it closed. You have four more days to see this amazing and humorous take on how museums create meaning.

NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Open: 4/18-5/17, 2026

details at: AriSalomon.com 
Burn Line is a meditation on loss, resilience, and transformation in the wake of California’s wildfires. 

Using a process I call Pyrotype, photographic images are CNC-engraved into wood and then transformed through controlled burning into solid charcoal. Each piece becomes both image and relic—a fusion of photography, sculpture, and memory—objects literally forged by fire, embodying how trauma alters what remains.

I created these pieces in collaboration with fire survivors. Together we looked at photographs of objects they lost in the fires. Then we worked together to tell a story about what was meaningful and what was lost. 

Alongside these collaborations, I also include my own black-and-white photographs of the fire’s aftermath, reflecting on destruction and renewal through my own lens.

JÖTÖSHIKI
(ROOF-RAISING CEREMONY)
上棟式
A traditional Japanese ceremony held after a building’s framework is complete.
It expresses gratitude to those who built it, shows respect for the land, and prays for the safety, stability, and well-being of the people who will live and gather there.
This ofuda (paper talisman) from a local shrine is placed within the structure as a blessing-inviting protection and harmony as the home’s life begins.

REBUILDING WITH CARE
In the wake of fire, rebuilding is more than construction-it is a return.
Jötöshiki reminds us that every structure begins with respect for the land and hope for a safe future.
This exhibition space, too, is a temporary frame for healing— a place to honor what was lost, and to imagine what can grow.

I was so glad to include a few ritual elements in my installation.

ABOUT JOTOSHIKI EMI
Also called jotosai, this roof-raising ceremony celebrates the completion of a building’s framework. It gives thanks, honors the land, and prays for the building’s safety and the well-being of all who will dwell within.
