-Exploring history through diverse artistic media -Working in photography, textiles, and installation art -Unearthing stories of loss and memory

Over the past two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a critically acclaimed practice that is deeply rooted in the field of photography while also constantly exploring its margins. She often focuses on the unexplored potential of the medium's artistic, technological, and sociopolitical histories. Combining material experimentation with archival research, Oppenheim transforms or, in her words, reprocessesimages and ideas both recent and historical by employing creative mechanisms ranging from a host of photographic processes to other media such as textiles, film and video, and, most recently, sculpture. Published in conjunction with her exhibition Monsieur Steichen at MUDAM Luxembourg, this richly illustrated catalogue surveys Oppenheim's works from the past dozen years, and includes new texts by Darsie Alexander, Christophe Gallois, Jacob Proctor, and Bettina Steinbrügge, as well as a conversation between Lisa Oppenheim and artist Liz Deschenes.

Lisa Oppenheim (*1975, New York) lives and works in New York City and holds degrees from Brown University, Bard College, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. She is represented by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York and Los Angeles and The Approach in London.
