Published by Hatje Cantz, Call Me Lola is a photographic essay by Loli Kantor, an acclaimed Israeli-American artist and documentary filmmaker. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. The focus is on her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself mainly through images and stories rather than direct memories. Family documents and photographs that trace the artist’s personal history are presented in combination with new works made with a camera, making this project a deeply subjective reflection on the most important upheavals of the twentieth century, on war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief.
Loli Kantor (*1952) is an Israeli-American photographer whose work focuses on personal and cultural memory. She lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas.
