About
Sacha Dufils (1990, NL) is a photographer and visual researcher. Her work explores the relationship between humans and the landscapes they inhabit and transform. Landscape functions in her practice not simply as a place, but as a construction shaped by perception, memory, desire and human intervention.
Themes of the sublime, escapism and the changing relationship between humans and the natural world run throughout her work. She is particularly interested in the tension between the vastness of the landscape and the human urge to understand, frame, preserve and ultimately control it.
Working with both analogue and digital techniques, Sacha also investigates the medium itself and the ways in which photography constructs our experience of reality. Her practice moves between observation and imagination, often questioning where the physical landscape ends and the imagined landscape begins.
Sacha holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and a Master’s degree in Fine Art and Design from the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam.
