About the Artist

Diana Luganski is a visual artist whose work holds what seems immediately legible, yet unfolds into something entirely other, though no less real. Her practice focuses on lens-based media, examining the ambivalent nature of photography and its relationship to material reality by combining traditional and emerging technologies. Her work draws on photographic theory, postmodern cinema, fashion imagery and well-dreamed nights.

BFA Exhibition 2024

Diana Luganski, detail of the work Calla, 2024.

From the body of work Curtain, I have selected for this exhibition a newspaper installation that covers the gallery window, a silver gelatin print, and an inkjet print. These pieces include references to contemporary photography, classical painting, fashion imagery, horror movies, and my prior works. In this body of work, I try to set myself free from seriality and narrative. Each part of the whole works independently.

I’m fascinated by the interface between the magical and the mundane. The ambivalence of lens-based media, the conflict between the documentary and the fictional, is an important starting point in my practice. In my works, something obvious is often revealed to be something completely different, yet equally real.
