BottomIzabela Pluta’s studio practice embraces photography as a way of interpreting and re-conceptualising the function that images have in the present. Pluta mediates on images with all their potential connections all at once, questioning how things from one place fit into another and speaking to experiences of place in the face of our changing environmental and societal condition. In 2022, Pluta will present, Nihilartikel, a significant solo exhibition of her work at UNSW Galleries in Sydney and realise a major new commission developed for Bundanon Art Museum’s opening exhibition, From Impulse to Action.
She has also been the recipient of various grants and awards including from The Australia Council for the Arts (2021, 2019, 2018, 2011), The Qantas Foundation Encouragement of Australian Contemporary Art Award (2009), The Ian Potter Cultural Trust Grant (2008) and The Freedman Traveling Arts Scholarship (2007). Pluta has undertaken national residencies including at International Art Space (IASKA) Kellerberrin, as well as international residencies in Tokyo, Barcelona, Paris, Belfast, and Beijing. She teaches art at UNSW Art, Design & Architecture, Sydney.
