Deliberate yet spontaneous, unsettling yet humorous… Brooke DiDonato’s work plays with opposites, drawing the viewer into a world where nothing is quite as it seems. Her debut book, Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer is a testament to this balance, where domestic settings become surreal landscapes.
Your images have a strong sense of composition, yet also an underlying tension. Where does this come from?
"I think the meticulousness in my mother’s home is deeply embedded in my work. Even as kids, my brother and I were conscious not to disrupt this harmony. But when that order is paired with an idea that can’t be easily understood, it creates a kind of tension that I find really interesting."
