Artist Bio
Izabela Pluta
Izabela Pluta is an artist with an interest in expanded photographic practice. Born in Warsaw, Poland, she currently lives and works between the lands of the Awabakal and Worimi in Awabakal Country (Newcastle, NSW) and the lands of the Bidjigal and Gadigal (Paddington, Sydney). Izabela holds a PhD from The University of Wollongong, is a Senior Lecturer at UNSW Art and Design Sydney.
Izabela Pluta’s expanded photographic practice is characterised by processes of embodied fieldwork, fragmentation, dislocation and reconfiguration, which she deftly uses to disrupt linear narratives of time and questions the idea of photography as a factual and reliable tool. Her work aims to push the limits of photography as a medium and practice developing a way of working that physically and conceptually navigates states of uncertainty. From tracing geological changes across deep time to addressing faster- changing anthropogenic, cultural, environmental and societal shifts, she considers different aspects of place in an ever-changing world.
