Still here, not here

Kimberly Harland is a British photographer based in London who explores the relationship between memory and place. Her work seeks to understand how photography can reflect the fragmented nature of recollection, creating a sense of movement through space that mirrors the way memories unfold over time.

Having created her first photo book “Still Here, Not Here”, she has worked with archival film slides passed down from her father, exploring how photographs interact with one another. Her practice considers how meaning is shaped not only within individual images, but through their relationships when viewed together.

Her work moves beyond photography as documentation, considering the photobook as both a sculptural object and a space for remembrance following the passing from her grandmother. Through careful sequencing and the physical act of unfolding the book, Harland invites the viewers to navigate memory as something that is constantly revisited and never entirely fixed. The result is an intimate reflection on family, grief and the enduring presence of photographs within our personal histories.
