i3 Photo Lecture: Diane Meyer

May 11, 2021; 7:00 - 8:30pm
Color photograph of Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with people in front of it. The bottom third of the image, including all the people, is covered in embroidered cross-stitches in threads matching the colors of the image, giving it a pixelized look.

Diane Meyer, Brandenburg Gate, from the series “Berlin,” 2015, hand-sewn archival ink jet print, 14 x 16 inches.

Diane Meyer is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work explores history, memory and the photograph as a physical object. Her recent work combines photography with embroidery to mimic the effect of pixelization, creating a connection between forgetting with file corruption. Her recent series of 43 photographs following the path of the entire Berlin Wall uses embroidery to portray the wall as a translucent trace in the landscape.


The i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration lecture series features leading photographers and artists, hardware and software developers and industry experts. Presented by MPS Digital Photography.
