Jimmy Fountain and Catherine Kunkemueller

Catherine Kunkemueller

In “Untitled” curator Erin Riley-Lopez brings together two technically superb photographers who capture the solitude, silence and poignance of a man-made world devoid of its human actors.

Two lone pillows stuffed uncomfortably on a motel closet shelf, a golden glow emanating from a Silver Stream trailer– Kunkemueller and Fountain amply demonstrate that beauty does exist in the quotidian, claustrophobic and creepy.
