Diane Severin Nguyen (*1990, Carson City, US) works with photography, video, and installation. Her practice engages with photography not just as a means of documentation, but as a transformative process shaped by desire and speculation. Through material and sculptural experimentation, she seeks to exceed the conventional boundaries of the photographic moment. Nguyen’s video works further explore these themes, delving into the complex histories of power, victimhood, and propaganda that influence cultural narratives.
Nguyen has exhibited her work internationally at renowned venues such as SculptureCenter, The Renaissance Society, Rockbund Art Museum, MoMA PS1, the Carnegie Museum of Art, Schinkel Pavilion, Jeu de Paume, and the Hammer Museum, among others. Her films have been showcased at prestigious film festivals including the New York Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and Berlinale. In 2023, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. Nguyen currently lives and works in New York City.
