Product Description
Nice Editions is honored to collaborate with Tommy Kha, one of the most celebrated photographers working today. Kha's work has been exhibited widely across the United States and internationally, at institutions including, ICP, Aperture, Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, SFMoMA, High Museum, Ogden, and the Addison Gallery of American Art. His photographs have been featured in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, and his acclaimed monograph Half, Full, Quarter was published by Aperture in 2023.
Tommy Kha invites members of the photographic community to participate in The Chain Letter Project, Volume 3, a collaborative artwork that builds on a format he has explored in previous iterations. Through a shared process of image-making and exchange, participants will contribute photographs that Kha will incorporate into an original collage-style tapestry.
Each participant will receive:
- 1 Disposable Camera
- 1 Development and 2K Scanning Credit
- Digital Prints From Their Roll
- A Creative Prompt (to guide their shooting)
- A Guaranteed Spot and Name-Credit of 1-2 Images in The Chain Letter Project, Vo. 3
These photographs will be incorporated into an original artwork by Tommy Kha, creating a collaborative project shaped by both the artist and the community. The completed work, composed entirely of chromogenic prints produced by Nice Film Club, will be presented at a public exhibition and opening reception in September at Nice Editions.
**The cost of participation is strictly to cover the materials and labor.
What makes this opportunity especially meaningful is the chance to contribute directly to the practice of one of contemporary photography's most celebrated artists. Rather than existing as a standalone submission, each participant's image will become part of an original artwork by Tommy Kha—one built through the gathering, layering, and integration of many voices. Reflecting Kha's ongoing interest in family, chosen family, and the communities that shape us, the final work will weave together individual photographs into a shared visual tapestry. The result will be a collaborative piece that celebrates connection, demonstrating how a collection of distinct perspectives can be brought together to form something entirely new
Participants are limited to 50. By purchasing this package, participants agree to return their film by/before July 31st, 2026
