Brooke DiDonato
Brooke DiDonato (b. 1990) is a visual artist from Ohio based in New York. Her photographs explore the surreal within the everyday, using color, composition, and gesture to transform familiar settings into psychologically charged spaces. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Fotografiska in Stockholm and Berlin, and her client list includes Hermès, Apple, and Burberry.
A conversation with artists on what happens when photography moves beyond the still image, becoming experiences, installations, and objects that invite, and sometimes demand, participation. A discussion about where the medium is going and what it means to make work that exists in space rather than on a wall.
Brooke walks participants through her self-portraiture practice (including failed attempts, strange props, and happy accidents), making the case that all you need is curiosity and a willingness to tinker.
Brooke transforms a space into a fully built, prop-filled set: wallpapered walls, unexpected objects, surreal staging. Participants are invited to play around, explore, and make self-portraits without any pressure to be brilliant. A brief intro from Brooke on her process kicks things off, then the space is yours. These sessions will be small groups only, to allow for genuine hands-on exploration.
Brooke DiDonato reveals how returning to the same subjects, places, and feelings over time unlocks depths that a single attempt never could.
