Margot Kalach seeks the limits of the photographic medium through camera-less experiments and through recycling photographic waste to oxidize paper. She reflects on ideas of evolution from simple to complex forms and on intimate technologies to push the subject to the center of scientific structures. Kalach has exhibited her work at Reverberations (Cordoba Lab, Oaxaca, 2022), PhotoLondon 2023 (London, UK) and MACOfoto 2025 (Mexico). She is a co-founder of CROMA, an artist-run space in Mexico city dedicated to contemporary art exhibitions, where her studio/darkroom resides.
