April Gertler: Cakehole

CAKEHOLE brings together photographs and collages that attend to the quiet, often overlooked moments of everyday life. Through subtle juxtapositions, the book traces connections between disparate images, allowing meaning to emerge through proximity, repetition, and variation.

Framed through a feminist sensibility, the work approaches femininity indirectly, not as a fixed subject, but as something that surfaces across gestures, textures, and fragments of daily experience.

Printed in risograph, the publication introduces a unifying material layer across images of varying origins, from iPhone captures to medium-format film. The process softens distinctions and creates a consistent visual field, reinforcing the book’s interest in flattening hierarchies and reconfiguring how images relate to one another.
