She places under the lens facets of camera technology that usually reside comfortably outside the resultant image\u2014the varying structures and functions of viewfinders, camera counters, and camera icons\u2014questioning the particular ways in which these seemingly natural and neutral attributes shape the photographer, and the medium itself.During the creation of her series 7 Pictures Remaining, the artist\u2019s camera counter images took on a surprising new dimension when she discovered that many of the cameras documented contained rolls of undeveloped film. Gould opened nearly all of the operable cameras in the collection and discovered hundreds of never-before-seen images residing within. This yielded fascinating discoveries and intimate moments connecting cameras, and former camera owners, to their images, effectively operating as a \u201cshadow archive\u201d within the CMP technology collection. A selection of prints made from these anonymous images are presented alongside Gould\u2019s own work, attributing personal histories and biographies to these otherwise mute objects."}
