Sonia Mangiapane

Sonia Mangiapane is a photomedia artist working with processes defined primarily by their interaction with light, as opposed to the exclusive use of the camera. Employing a range of camera-based and cameraless methods her practice takes the form of photographic prints, cameraless or hybrid works on paper, moving image works and other light-based interventions. Themes such as the tourist gaze, Nature and the underlying constructions of the photographic are the focus of her work.

The colour darkroom is a core site of her practice. It’s a space in which she makes, rather than takes a photograph; pushing the boundaries of the photographic by undertaking conceptual and technical approaches which diverge from the snapshot.

Sonia was born and raised on unceded Bunurong country, lived in the Netherlands from 2012-2024 and is currently based in Naarm/Melbourne.
