Rebecca Najdowski

Rebecca Najdowski is an artist, researcher, and curator who focuses on expanded photographic practice and environmental art.

Rebecca Najdowski’s work engages with how nature and the climate crisis are mediated through photographic technologies. In her practice, she uses the materiality of analogue and digital processes to alter habitual ways of seeing — and therefore relating to — nature. Rebecca uses experimental techniques such as exposing photo-materials with natural phenomena, harnessing the limitations of digital 3D scans of plants, or creating datasets to make AI artworks. Both a celebration and critique of imaging technologies, Rebecca’s work has addressed desert ecology, botanical specimens, natural phenomena like the sun, geothermal activity, rain, and imaginings of the universe.

Rebecca’s images, objects, and films have been presented internationally, including at the Museum Belvédère (Netherlands), Belfast Photo Festival (Northern Ireland). She was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Brazil and her practice has been supported by a fellowship with the Center for Creative Photography (Arizona, US) and through residencies at Banff Centre (Canada); the Institute for Electronic Art at Alfred University (New York, US); and Kala Art Institute (California, US).
