Biography / Diana-Elena Păun

Diana-Elena Păun (b.1995) is a visual artist based in Bucharest, Romania.

She works with photography and site specific installations with various objects in order to create enjoyment around photography in space. Diana gets inspired by daily experiences as a member of society, the relationship between people, and the relationship between people and nature. She is interested in topics such as society, self-anthropology, collective memories, and emerging alternative histories.

Her projects were exhibited nationally and internationally at contemporary art institutions such as Galeria Posibilă, Bucharest; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest; Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris; Moderna Galeria, Ljubliana; Shenzhen, Shangqi.

About the project

Diana Păun considers that we live in a historical age where access to information has become easier than ever. Nevertheless, during the past few years, the impact of fake news and propaganda had a more significant effect on society. People tend to be more confused about reality and worried about the future.

In her project for Fresh A.I.R. “Everything is true nothing is false, everything is false nothing is true”, the artist intends to examine the current situation of how fake news, propaganda, and conspiracy theories are spreading and becoming part of our reality in both Romania and Germany in an artistic way.

Fresh A.I.R. #8 | LINGUISTIC XPEDITION
On October 27, 2023, we celebrate the opening of our exhibition of the Fresh A.I.R. scholars. Twelve artists from eight European countries have dedicated themselves for ten months to this year's theme LINGUISTIC XPEDITION. They investigated the act of speaking as a constitutive element of human perception and communication. The artistic exploration ranges from aspects of everyday language use, verbal language actions, language thinking and language action to the structural power of language.
