Veronica Laminarca
Her research sits at the intersection of intimacy and a fictional manifestation of reality. Moving across analog photography, oil painting on copper, lenticular and aluminium prints, and augmented reality, her work combines painted, printed and pixel-driven images to unfold stories where the boundaries of physical and digital spaces converge. At its core is an idea from her master’s research: a string of pixels as an adjacent home, a way of asking what constitutes a “home” when part of it lives on a screen.
Her photobook Ordinary Gestures (2026), turns to domestic space, memory and grief. Her ongoing series Rabbit Holes explores internet culture and childhood nostalgia through AR self-portraits and painted still lifes.
