Matt Zory | FotoFoucs’22

October 8-29, 2022

Studio Kroner welcomed Cincinnati photographer Matt Zory for the 2022 FotoFocus Biennial: World Record, a celebration of photography and lens-based art. Zory's exhibition, Bodies of Sand: Life and Solitude in Death Valley, explored humanity's impact on the natural world, echoing the biennial’s theme of examining our shared environmental choices.

Bio

Matt Zory’s work explores the vastness and the mystery of Death Valley, where the sense of isolation and forms created by shifting sands have short visual lives, and asks the viewer to consider if they parallel our connection to this earth.

In addition to being a photographer, Matt Zory is the Assistant Principal Bass (Trish and Rick Bryan Chair) for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the rhythm section bassist for the Cincinnati Pops. His most recent book, Through the Lens: The Remaking of Cincinnati’s Music Hall, is a photographic essay that documents the recent historic renovation of Samuel Hannaford’s 19th-century building.

Zory's exhibition, Bodies of Sand: Life and Solitude in Death Valley, is part of the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial: backstories. Now in its seventh iteration, the Biennial activates over 100 projects at museums, galleries, universities, and public spaces throughout Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Northern Kentucky in October 2024.
