Miranda Lichtenstein (born December 11, 1969) is an American artist focusing on photography and video.[1][2]

Life

[edit]

Lichtenstein was born in New York City and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. In 1990, Lichtenstein graduated with a BA from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY. In 1993 she earned her MFA from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA.

Work

[edit]

For nearly two decades, Lichtenstein has worked in varied sub-genres within photography’s historical archetypes: marginalized contemporary landscapes, refracted still life, performance-based portraiture and process-oriented abstraction. Her book Recorder (2021), is a three-part series of images which departed from a singular work: Welcome Water (2015), where Lichtenstein collaborated with the artist J. Stoner Blackwell on a sprawling sculptural floor piece. This collaboration marked a shift in Lichtenstein's work, which involves a layering and compression of analog and digital processes.
