Shana Lutker's work questions the invention of history and the line between the subjective and the objective. Working in a variety of mediums, including drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation, and performance, her work aims to reveal the potential of alternative narratives of history. For the past 5 years she has been working with dreams and newspapers, using the legacy and language of psychoanalysis and conceptual art to produce translations of the unconscious. Her current body of work looks at archetypes and symbols of civilization and politics.
