Tanit Plana

"I like reflecting on the idea that I engage in politics when I refer to artificial intelligence as poetry. I infuse everything I communicate to AI with potential futures, and it responds by resolving images, saturating them with nuances, complexities, and cracks. These are images that prompt us with questions. Reciting poetry to AI, actively and critically instructing through prompts, is essentially conveying how we envision the world we desire."

Tanit Plana has a degree in Audiovisual Communication from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. She understands photography as a way of caressing, a place to be radically together, and a tool for making politics. Her relationship with the pedagogy of the image and the mediation processes that triangulate body, politics, and image have been a constant in her work. She has received the Barcelona Crea grant (2020), the Propuestas Vegap grant (2021), and the Art for Change from the La Caixa Foundation (2022), among others. Her recent projects have been exhibited at the Canal de Isabel II in Madrid (2019), the Virreina Center for the Image in Barcelona (2021), the Barcelona Auditorium (2021), and the Antoni Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona (2023). She has work in the National Photography Plan of Catalonia, in the CA2M of Madrid, in the FNAC —Fonds National d’ Art Contemporain— of the Ministry of Culture of France, and in the MACBA museum of Barcelona.
