@ericmueller talks about photography in a way we love: wandering, watching, experimenting, and finding the frame that says exactly what a place feels like.
That instinct, to notice beauty in the overlooked, to simplify, to let an image go straight for emotion, is a big part of what MODE is all about.
This is the kind of creative perspective that will be all around the festival: photographers and artists with deep points of view, strong ties to place, and a way of seeing that changes how you look at a city.

Family Resemblance
By Eric Mueller @ericmueller
Family Resemblance is a multi-year photo project which documents and celebrates people who are genetically related and bear a strong resemblance to each other. As an adopted person, photographer Eric Mueller always wondered what it would be like to look like someone else. At age forty-five, when he saw a photo of his birth mother for the first time it triggered the idea to photograph family members with shared physical characteristics. Over a three-year period he photographed around 700 people—from newborns to nonagenarians—asking them about their own experiences with family resemblance.
Eric Mueller is a Minneapolis-based artist, photographer, and teacher. His photographs have been exhibited in dozens of group shows, including at the Plains Art Museum, the Devos Art Museum, the Midwest Center for Photography, Head On Photo Festival, the Southeast Center for Photography, and the Columbus Museum of Art.
