Rita Rodner (b. 1976, Poland) graduated with an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw (2002) and MA Photography (Distinction) from Falmouth University (2019).
Her multidisciplinary works focus on universal subjects concerning the natural and virtual world and are often articulated through abstraction.
Since 2018 she works extensively with unconventional photographic methods connecting the analogue and digital image-making processes.
Her most recent works are inspired by fundamental mechanisms which govern the physical and computational world with a particular interest in information, code, communication and data. The body of work created so far touches on the significance of the binary code, transformability of information and the omnipresence of information flow in the interconnected universe.
She currently lives and works in Northampton, UK
