Diana Tamane

Diana Tamane’s (1986, Latvia/Estonia) primary medium of expression is photography, but she also uses video, text, drawings and found objects in her work. In the artist’s works, family albums, documents, and private correspondence are transformed into catalysts, making it possible to reveal not only touching autobiographical stories but also apt portrayals of society and how a complex political history and presence intertwines with the needs and dreams of ordinary people. Tamane graduated from the Tartu Art College, Estonia, the LUCA School of Arts, Brussels, and HISK post-academic program, Ghent. Her works have been exhibited at Kyiv Biennial, the first Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art, Kim? Contemporary Art Centre (Latvia), Tartu Art Museum, Estonian Contemporary Art Museum (Estonia), S.M.A.K Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art (Belgium), Fotomuseum Winterthur (Switzerland), Kogo gallery (Estonia), ISSP (Latvia), Kathmandu Triennale (Nepal), Surplus Space (China) and elsewhere. In 2020, APE published Tamane’s first book, “Flower Smuggler”, which received the Recontres d’Arles Book Award and was shortlisted for the Paris-Photo Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Award.
