Life and work
Faller was born Marion Sudol in Passaic, New Jersey. She studied at Hunter College since earning a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Buffalo in the photographic studies program at Visual Studies Workshop. Eventually, she returned to the University of Buffalo where she taught studio and records of photography courses from 1982 to 2006. In addition, she taught at Colgate University, Hunter College and Marymount Manhattan College. She often collaborated behind her husband, experimental filmmaker Hollis Frampton, before his death in 1984. In cutting edge years, her photographs focused upon the ways in which regular people, often New Yorkers, reflect their identities in inventive displays in and approaching their domestic spaces.
Faller major series were Hey Baby, Take My Picture (1972-1975); Second Flora (1977-1979); Vegetable Locomotion (1978); False Impressions (1979); Time Capsule (1979–81) and Neither Nor (1988).
“My perform is roughly how individuals and communities visually expose their values, their interests, and their prudence of what is important and beautiful. The subject event is usually near to home—homes, yards, small businesses and community buildings such as schools or churches. While much of my photography addresses the various ways we celebrate holidays and reply to the shifting seasons, I’ve been photographing flags and extra patriotic displays previously October 2001. I am trying to document both the unspecified and the extraordinarily inventive ways people are approximately the ritual of displaying the flag— following received traditions and creating extra ones. Most of my photographs were made in New York (where I’ve spent most of my adult life) and in New Jersey (where I grew up).”
Hollis Frampton said of Faller’s con that it is “ambitions: aesthetically, philosophically, politically… Best of all, the wit and grace in the same way as which it is allied make her work definitely unique.” Gina Murtagh praised her “flexibility in charting the quirks of human nature…”
In 2002, she participated in the online project “Flagging Spirits”, hosted by the University of Massachusetts.
Faller acted as a juror for Light Work, Central New York Photography Grants in 1990. She furthermore acted as a panelist for the New York State Council upon the Arts (NYSCA) between 1981-1985.
