Brandon Lattu
American artist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brandon Lattu is an American contemporary artist living and working in Los Angeles. Lattu "uses both photography and the idea of photography to explore relationships between meaning and representation."[1] In a review in Hyperallergic of Lattu's 2021 mid-career retrospective at the California Museum of Photography, Jeremy Sigler writes, "Lattu can actually be considered one of the leading pioneers of post-camera photography."[1]
Early life
Career
Jan Tumlir in an Artforum review of Lattu's 2019 show Full to Bursting writes Lattu "speaks to the current representational excess that swells the frames of pictures and inexorably pushes out into reality."[5]
Lattu's work has been shown and collected by a variety of institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York;[6] Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands;[7] VOX Contemporary Image Center, Montreal, Canada;[8] California Museum of Photography, Riverside, California;[9] and The Mak Center, Los Angeles, California.[10]
Lattu currently teaches art, photography, and digital imaging at the University of California, Riverside.[11]
