A photograph of Miller’s mother holding him as an infant is re-created by a computer and projected into the far room of an abandoned apartment in Newburgh, New York. Their figures dissolve into the wall at the end of the hall. Around the space are other images from the same process: a framed reconstruction, a magenta-and-black placeholder shown when an image is missing, and a printed patent diagram that explains the technology behind image-making.

Once a home, the apartment becomes a temporary gallery for family images that have been changed and shown in new forms. The pictures still hold traces of the people they came from, but they no longer show them as clearly as the original photographs did. By placing family photographs beside a missing-image placeholder and a diagram of image-making technology, Miller brings together images that are present, altered, or missing within the same space.
