Amalia Ulman, working within an increasingly complicated 21st century context of social media, extends strategies around inhabiting media institutions and ‘formats’ initiated by her feminist forebears in various ways. These apparently divergent attitudes to the relationship between ‘reality’ and the photographic document – the former being either an indexical trace of something that really happened, the latter as a space in which reality might be conjured temporarily, imagined and played out – apparently conflict.

Amalia Ulman (b. 1989 in Argentina) is based in Los Angeles. She studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in London. Recent solo and group exhibitions include JENNY’S, New York (2023); Tate Modern, London, GB (2023); Fondazione Prada, Milan, Italy (2022); UCCA, Beijing, China (2019); MCA Chicago, Chicago, USA (2018); Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2017); James Fuentes Gallery, New York, USA (2017).
