Tamara Kostianovsky (b. 1974, Jerusalem, Israel) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the National School of Fine Arts “Prilidiano Pueyrredon” in Buenos Aires (1998), and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA (2003).
Kostianovsky's work asks for a re-imagination of human rights and environmental redemption models to consider the resultant violence as part of a more extensive, inseparable system. By creating immersive environments out of the remnants of consumer culture, her work goes beyond trauma enacted onto an individual organism to encompass the pervasive destruction by capitalist consumption on the natural world. Her works create a visual proposition for a future in which images of desecrated bodies are transformed into receptacles of regeneration and rebirth.
Kostianovsky has a forthcoming solo exhibition at Le Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris, opening April 2024.
