Hannah Kirby (born August 8th, 1989) is an American photographer and multimedia artist, best known for her attempts to pick up her shadow.

Golden Years

Hannah Kirby (born Hannah Louise Tamor Kirby) was birthed and raised in Santa Monica, California to proud parents Sarah Tamor and Peter Kirby, sister of Rachel Kirby. Her parents became divorced two years later. Kirby has been known to have a large collection of different sized bags and boxes, which some believe has it's roots in the experience of switching to and from each parent's house every two weeks for 15 years. In 1993, Peter remarried to Rosanna Albertini, then Sarah moved in with partner Alex Ward in 2001, creating a family with more parents than children. Kirby would go on to write short stories with her Italian mother-friend Rosanna Albertini, such as "The story of Fing-ball and Simck-Bing-Good on Lilack (300 Galaxies away!)". Meanwhile Alex Ward and Kirby made sculptures out of melted wax at the dinner table.
