Diana Luganski ^{Emerging artist}

Artist is based in: Finland

Diana Luganski (FI, b. 1980) is a visual artist with a background in fashion photography, currently finishing an MFA degree at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki. She has exhibited her work in various group exhibitions and film festivals in Finland and Europe. Notable venues where her work has recently been shown include the Ateneum Art Museum and the Design Museum. She also continues to collaborate with various fashion brands and avant-garde fashion designers from Aalto University. Working primarily with photography and lens-based media, her practice spans different formats, from digital to large-format photography. Occasionally, Luganski incorporates sculptural techniques such as mold-making to echo the photographic logic of an imprint being taken from something that already exists. Often presenting her works as spatial installations, her research explores the ambivalent and spectral nature of the photographic medium and its relationship to material reality.
