Speakers

Polina Piëch is a multidisciplinary artist working with analogue photography to create immersive spaces that incorporate sound and scent, evoking tactility of nature’s elements — such as water, air, earth and fire. She is graduating this year with an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art (RCA). Piëch’s practice explores notions of movement found in the natural world. Using a dynamic, light-driven technique, Piëch focuses on landscapes and the four elemental forces. Her work evokes texture and painterly qualities, referencing the sublime. 

Piëch is presented by Roman Road at booth D12. 

 

Daniel Tchetchik is an artist, a staff photographer and the chief editor of the photography blog at Haaretz newspaper. He divides his time between artistic projects and documentary assignments; often, each approach inspires the other. He has exhibited in leading museums and galleries in Israel and on international platforms in New York, Kassel, San Francisco, Sweden, Berlin, Hamburg, Bulgaria and India. His works are part of the collections of the Tel Aviv Museum, the Ramat Gan Museum, The Peter Blum Gallery, Hotel Montefiore, The Umm El Fahem Gallery, the Museum fur Sepulkralkultur, The Marc Rich Foundation, The French Institute, as well as several private collections. His editorial work has been published on prominent platforms such as The Financial Times, Süddeutsche Zeitung, The New Yorker, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Haaretz and more. 

Tchetchik is presented by Form and Viriginia Damtsa at booth D06. 

 

Lucia Pizzani was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1975, and moved to London in 2007. Her research-based practice, informed by her studies in conservation biology and her involvement in Venezuela’s environmental movement, is concerned with the intertwining narratives of natural and human histories. In particular, at the core of her work is a focus on the interrelationship between stories of women in history and literature, and processes of metamorphosis in the natural world. Pizzani works in a wide variety of media, including sculpture, photography, printmaking, drawing and performance. She has worked with ceramics for over 15 years. Pizzani’s work is held in important UK and Latin American art collections, including Tate, the Colleción Patricia Phelps de Cisneros and the Essex Collection for Art from Latin America (ESCALA). Pizzani is presented by Victoria Law at booth D08. 

Alona Pardo is Director of the Arts Council Collection and formerly Curator at the Barbican Art Gallery.
