Cecilia Bernadette Kegler is a visual artist from Orlando, Florida, currently based in Berlin, where she is pursuing her master’s degree in photography at SRH Berlin. Prior to this, she studied photography and film production at Parsons School of Design in New York. While photography—particularly analog processes—forms the foundation of her artistic practice, she often extends her work into physical and interactive forms, such as printing on fabric, binding handmade books, and experimenting with alternative techniques such as cyanotypes and emulsion lifts. For Kegler, a piece often doesn’t feel complete until it becomes an object—something tactile that can be held, turned, or felt.

 

Drawing heavily from personal experience, her work serves as a means to process complex themes like grief, memory, mental health, and trauma. Yet, she strives to create pieces in which viewers can see themselves—feeling recognized or understood. In the long term, she hopes to open a space dedicated to supporting analog photography through community engagement, education, and accessibility.
