1992 Infinity Award: Art — Mike and Doug Starn

Mike and Doug Starn are our 1992 honoree for Art

Mike Starn and Doug Starn, collectively known as the Starn Twins, are American contemporary artists and photographers whose innovative work has challenged conventional definitions of photography since the 1980s. Working collaboratively throughout their careers, they have developed an interdisciplinary practice that combines photography, sculpture, installation, architecture, and mixed media. Their work explores themes of impermanence, identity, memory, nature, and transformation, while questioning photography's traditional role as a medium of objective representation. Through experimental techniques and unconventional materials, the Starn Twins have become leading figures in contemporary art, expanding the conceptual and physical possibilities of photographic practice.
