Miranda Lichtenstein (born December 11, 1969) is an American artist focusing on photography and video. [1] [2]
Lichtenstein was born in New York City and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. In 1990, Lichtenstein graduated with a BA from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY. In 1993 she earned her MFA from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA.
For nearly two decades, Lichtenstein has worked in varied sub-genres within photography’s historical archetypes: marginalized contemporary landscapes, refracted still life, performance-based portraiture and process-oriented abstraction. Her book Recorder (2021), is a three-part series of images which departed from a singular work: Welcome Water (2015), where Lichtenstein collaborated with the artist J. Stoner Blackwell on a sprawling sculptural floor piece. This collaboration marked a shift in Lichtenstein's work, which involves a layering and compression of analog and digital processes.

In 1999, in an exhibition entitled Phoenix she showed a series of seventeen black-and-white photo-prints and one forty-one-foot-long digital billboard image; writing in Frieze, Vince Aletti said, "the exhibition is a mystery that bristles with clues but is ultimately unsolved; perhaps it is unsolvable." In her introduction to the catalog for Hoey's 2012 exhibit, The Phantom Sex, at the University Art Museum, University at Albany, curator Corinna Ripps Schaming wrote, "Using both staged and directed photography, her meticulously constructed pictures speak to her deep knowledge of the art and its ability to conflate fact and fiction. Her seemingly spontaneous pictures are choreographed through simple directives and are subject to her ruthless editorial eye, which is always attuned to bringing social dynamics to the fore."
