Yashna Kaul (b.1995) is an image-based artist working in the expanded photographic field. Engaging primarily with vernacular photography, she employs a range of digital tools and analogue techniques to question the authenticity of photographs. Her current work appropriates the family album to examine the relationship between memory and mythmaking through animation, collage, and experimental bookmaking. She received her BFA in Photography and Imaging from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2018 and was the recipient of the department’s Thomas Drysdale Production Fund and Seth Tobias Award. Her project, The Image World was included in Betwixt and Between: Photography, Time and Place at Flower City Arts Center, Rochester (2018) and Family Photographs at Jamestown Arts Center, Rhode Island (2018).
