Diana Luganski (FI, b. 1980) is a visual artist working primarily with photography and lens-based media. Her practice spans different formats, from digital images 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 reality.
At the 2026 edition of Foto Tallinn, Luganski offers a first look at her ongoing Sacer series. Combining photographic prints with bronze cast sculptures, the project takes conceptual shape around the notion of photography as something deceptively autonomous – a kind of “twisted vampire that feeds on light, capable of immortalising the fleeting and that which remains invisible to the human eye.”
Artist is presented by The Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki
