Thomsen’s first publication You Will Find it Where it Is: A Reader is a meditation to move our locus of attention. The layered book of photographs creates space and redacts gendered histories of knowledge to make room for new discoveries. Polishing her feminist lens, Thomsen intercepts the timelines of nineteenth century writer, Margaret Fuller; twentieth century photographer, Lucia Moholy; and twenty-first century conceptual artist, Maria Nordman among others. This book serves as a catalyst and declaration of Thomsen’s iterative practice where time and light are material and metaphor.

About the Artist
Sonja Thomsen (b. 1978) is an American artist whose multifaceted practice choreographs light in space, photograph and sculpture. Thomsen is a woman working in abstraction, trained in the sciences, whose practice is beguiled by the plurality of light. Thomsen’s installation practice creates space for wonder as a radical way to imagine post-patriarchal futures. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Studio Art from Kenyon College and a MFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has exhibited with Bauhaus Archiv Berlin, Soccer Club Club Chicago, Higher Pictures NY, DePaul Art Museum, Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Reykjavik Museum of Photography, New Mexico Museum of Art, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Gallery f5,6 in Munich among others.
