Diane Severin Nguyen

Diane Severin Nguyen (b. Oct 24th, 1990, Carson, California) works across photography, video, and installation, approaching the photographic moment as one of transformation. Moving beyond documentation, she engages image-making as a moment of tension, shaped by desire, speculation, and material instability. Her video work extends these concerns, examining power, victimhood, and propaganda as forces that shape both cultural and self-image. Nguyen has exhibited her work internationally, in places such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Rockbund Art Museum, SculptureCenter, The Renaissance Society, MoMA PS1, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Schinkel Pavilion, Jeu du Paume, the Hammer Museum, and others. Her films have been screened at film festivals such as the New York Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and Berlinale. Nguyen was a recipient of the 2023 Guggenheim fellowship and lives and works in New York.
