Diane Severin Nguyen
Diane Severin Nguyen (born 1990) is an American photographer and filmmaker known for using found materials to create ephemeral sculptures which she documents to emphasize a passing moment.
Life and Work[edit]
Diane Severin Nguyen was born in Carson, California. She lives between Los Angeles and New York. Nguyen received an MFA from Bard College in 2020 and a BA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013.[1]
Nguyen uses synthetic and natural found objects to create sculptures, which she documents up-close to create images that are bodily and uncanny.[2]
Nguyen’s work focuses on the ephemeral. Oftentimes the objects she photographs are in states of decay and transformation[3]. Nguyen will puncture the surface of the objects to allow leaks in the materials as she captures them. She often uses materials such as ice that are in a transformational state.[4] Nguyen uses transient light sources such as fire, sunset, an iPhone flash, emphasizing the resulting image as a brief and fleeting moment in time. Journalism and its photographic history is interesting to Nguyen.[1]
