Misty Keasler

North Texas photographer Misty Keasler turns her camera on the rituals of pandemic life. In her latest body of work, “Sanctuary Dispatches,” Keasler offers an intimate look at her family’s isolation.

The pandemic redefined what home meant. For many Americans, the definition expanded to include all facets of our life. It was where we worked, relaxed, and were alone. It was where we came together (when it was safe), celebrated and grieved...

In this new body of work, Misty Keasler has created a sanctuary space for her family during this transformative moment.  These poetic and reflective film images are created with her Hasselblad camera.

The exhibition was scheduled to open to the public on March 15, but the museum closed on March 14 because of the coronavirus pandemic. After five months of peering into relatives’, friends’ and colleagues’ houses during Zoom meetings, visitors can now see contemporary artists’ interpretations of such intimate spaces...

In 2015, photographer Misty Keasler and her husband, gallerist Brian Gibb, scheduled a much-needed trip to Las Vegas. The parents of two young children were looking forward to an adult’s-only vacation, with daytime drinks by the pools and nights spent indulging at restaurants along the Strip...

Photographer Misty Keasler often finds subjects in vacant spaces whose emptiness has much to say about the people who normally occupy them. Trash dumps in Nigeria filled with computer debris. Fantasy-themed hot-sheet hotel rooms in Japan. Keasler’s images—often fittingly bathed in eerie light that evokes a David Lynch-like dread—capture eccentric manifestations of consumer culture that are charged with a sense of repression and fetishism...

Photographer Misty Keasler visited 13 haunted houses across the United States, exploring their architecture of horror while they were empty.

However, it was that limitation that drew Keasler to her subject...
