ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ✧ BROOKE DIDONATO
Brooke Didonato (b. 1990) is a New York-based lens photographer best recognised for crafting everyday scenes distorted by “visual anomalies” – glitches in the norm.
From vast deserts to suburbia, DiDonato creates a universe which is slightly off kilter. Bodies intertwine, trees bend backwards and iron fences become malleable.
In every shot, the meanings of familiar objects are twisted; the laws of physics unhinged. Cozy homes and gardens are imbued with danger, humor and intrigue, encouraging us to look again. Through pleasing color palettes, enticing 1950s-style décor and calming landscapes, DiDonato lulls the viewer into a false sense of security. Yet, instead of a world of trust and safety, where everything is as it should be, we are brought into an unexpected realm.
It’s a place where the American Dream is questioned and deconstructed: a distinctly unstable universe.
