To some extent that's true. The differences in the results achieved are subtle and the viewer never knows what happened inside the camera and what has been done post production. A medium that was once believed to depict reality, has been shown in no uncertain terms to be a simulacrum, infinitely malleable, deceptive and subjective. As a result, artists are pushed to add an extra dimension to their work - often a gimmick - to give it an identity. In this series, I have taken as a foundation, pictures which although often very simple, have their own graphic and impactful story to tell. But I have allowed an intruder to enter the scene, at once disrupting the image, but also giving it a surreal narrative which propels it into the imaginative and the "personal". Does art have to be profound? At what point does it become absurd? Are there really any new stories to tell? In this moment, as in 1917 when Marcel Duchamp exhibited a urinal, the proliferation of images, the constant developments in medium, technique and process, and in near-universal connection through social media, these questions become primary to art making. Whether to respond in a way that is commercially driven, internally motivated, concept driven? It can stop art making dead in its tracks, or at least be extremely annoying, but I think the questions are valid and real.

Diana Cheren Nygren is a fine art photographer from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work explores the visual character of place defined through physical environment and weather. Place has implications for our experience of the world, and reveals hints about the culture around it. Diana was trained as an art historian with a focus on modern and contemporary art, and the relationship of artistic production to its socio-political context. Her emphasis on careful composition in her photographic work, as well as her subject matter, reflects this training. Her current project, When the Trees are Gone, has been featured in Dek Unu Mag and Square Magazine, won Best In Show in the exhibition Nurture/Nature juried by photographer Laura McPhee, the Grand Prize in Photography from Art Saves Humanity, and is a finalist for Fresh2020. Her photographs have received numerous honorable mentions from the Lucie Foundation and have been included in a number of juried exhibitions at Subjectively Objective, PhotoPlace Gallery, the Midwest Center for Photography, Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts, PH21 Gallery in Budapest, Arlington Center for the Arts, the Griffin Museum of Photography, and the Curated Fridge.
