Over the course of her twenty-five- year career, Tria Giovan’s work has been defined by diverse, in-depth, timely, and thoughtful subject exploration ranging from projects on New York’s Lower East Side, her family’s Rhode Island home, Cuba, and the beaches and trees of Long Island. Whether capturing the variants of tide, wind, sand, and sky, a tree canopy, the day-to-day subtleties of a country, or the haunting permutations of empty rooms and random emblematic objects, she does so with a sensitivity that ground us in the recorded moment. Her direct approach and discerning discipline reveal the layered complexities of her subjects while preserving their immediacy.
Her photographs have been exhibited in New York City, Athens, Greece, Hyderabad, India, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, California, Chicago, Illinois, and Havana, Cuba, and are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Parrish Art Museum, The Jewish Museum, and The NY Public Library.
