Steven Seidenberg Exhibition 'Home Truth' Explores Absence Through Photography
The John and Geraldine Lilley Museum of Art in Reno, Nevada, is presenting 'Home Truth: Image-Making in Absence,' a solo exhibition by photographer Steven Seidenberg. Running from January 27 to May 23, 2026, the show features three photographic series that examine themes of memory, migration, and the traces of human presence in uninhabited spaces. The works include 'The Architecture of Silence,' documenting abandoned farmhouses in Italy's Puglia region linked to post-war land reform; 'Baobab,' capturing a migrant tent encampment in Rome; and 'Kanazawa Vacancy,' focusing on vacant properties in Japan. Seidenberg's approach avoids depicting people directly, instead using architectural settings to convey social and historical narratives.
