Diana Tamane is a Latvian artist who works in multimedia. She combines photography, video, text and found objects with an introspective, documentary approach. Diana draws inspiration from autobiography, working with intimate and sometimes trivial details of her family’s daily life. ‘It’s like a thread that facilitates communication. It’s my love language,’ she admits. For this work, Tamane revisits family albums and shows moments of tactile closeness between her family members. In this way, she creates history in images, both personal and universal, questioning the dynamics that underlie bonds of affection, hierarchy or power in the family and, more broadly, in post-Soviet society. A touching, personal, project that resonates in every heart.
