Where is the Light, digital photo-documented collage on fine art photo paper, 2023

Alyssa De Luccia is a visual artist based in Berlin, Germany. Her work is driven by the presence of simultaneous dualities — things that exist in tension or contradiction. Drawing from unfamiliar environments and subtle cues in everyday life, she explores the idea that nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Her multidisciplinary practice spans photo-documentation, installation, portraiture, photomontage, and — more recently — drawing. While rooted in formalism, her work is shaped by feminist, surrealist, and Dadaist traditions. Increasingly, it gestures toward social and political commentary, reflecting a world out of balance.

De Luccia’s photomontages often pay homage to Hannah Höch, whose radical use of collage and critique of mass media continue to resonate.

Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Berlinische Galerie, The Corner at Whitman-Walker (Washington, DC), Staatliche Kunsthalle (Baden-Baden), Wilhelm-Hack-Museum (Ludwigshafen am Rhein), Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac (Paris), and the Brandenburg State Museum (Cottbus).

She has received fellowships and grants from MacDowell Colony, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, *Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Cité des Arts, Stiftung Kunstfonds, and the Berlin Senate, including both a Research/Artist Grant and a Special Scholarship for Fine Arts.
