Sara Cwynar (Vancouver, BC, 1985) lives and works in New York. Her work in photography, video, and installation involves a constant archiving and re-presentation of collected visual materials. For over 10 years she has been evolving her own personal visual language in installation, photography and film, revealing the powerful role that images play in our daily lives. Cwynar holds an MFA from Yale University and a BDes from York University. Past projects include a commission for the Performa Biennial, New York (2021), “S/S 23”, Foam Photography Museum, Amsterdam (2023) “Apple Red, Grass Green, Sky Blue, ICA Los Angeles (2022)” “Source,” Remai Modern (2021), “L’Image Volée,” Fondazione Prada, Milan, Italy (2016); and “Greater New York,” MoMA PS1, Queens, NY (2015/16). Her most recent exhibition, Baby Blue Benzo, is an overwhelming environment of obsessively constructed images and video.
