Alana Holmberg
Alana Holmberg is a visual artist based in Melbourne. Her practice combines photography, motion, sound and text to make work that is both conceptual and documentary. Experimenting with performance, installation, and online platforms, she is interested in presenting her work in non-traditional ways to reach wide and diverse audiences.
Raised in regional Victoria, Alana’s work is sociological in nature and intentionally close to home. She comments on contemporary issues within Australian society, drawing on personal experiences, discoveries in her family archives, and behaviours and attitudes amongst her socio-economic group.
Alana Holmberg is a member of Oculi Collective and Women Photograph. In 2019 she won Australia’s National Photographic Portrait Prize and she was a finalist in the William and Winifred Prize for Contemporary Photography in 2017. Her work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, Museum of Art and Science, ACMI, Monash Gallery of Art, Lost Ones Gallery and Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb.
Alana holds a Bachelor of Arts (Photography) from RMIT University and Advanced Diploma of Visual Storytelling from Danish School of Media and Journalism. Alongside her art practice, she is a freelance editorial and portrait photographer, guest lecturer and communications consultant at Unless You Will.
