Diana MatarDiana Matar is a photographer based in London. Her work, which often incorporates testimony, archive or text, investigates issues of immigration, representation, urban development, and political disappearance.Neither her subject matter nor the locatin where she works are stable. Instead, what ties her work together is its relationship to history and memory. When Diana Matar photographs a building she is not concerned with its structure but with what happened inside; when she photographs a tree she is interested in the events it has witnessed over its lifespan. When she makes a portrait she is trying to render something about what the person has already experienced rather than the present moment in their life. Matar has been the recipient of the Deutsche Bank Pyramid Award for Fine Art and The International Fund for Documentary Photography, and has been nominated for the Prix Pictet award. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections and has been published in the New Yorker, Internazionale, Ojo de Pez and many other publications. She has exhibited at Saatchi Gallery, London, Gallery of Photography Temple Bar, Dublin, Fotographie Forum International, Frankfurt, Noorderlicht Fotofestival, Q ARTS Derby and the Plymouth Museum, amongst others.
