Since the mid-1990s, the work of Liz Deschenes (Boston, 1996) has evolved, deepening and expanding the fundamental aspects of the photographic medium and being characterized by the use of cameraless photography. Deschenes continually challenges the traditional conventions of photography, often generating site-specific pieces, engaging with the legacy of Minimalism. From the first color studies to her recent installations, the artist has ended up becoming one of the most innovative and leading artists of today.
