Aglaia Konrad

Aglaia Konrad studied at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. Since 1994 she has been living in Brussels, where she teaches at LUCA. In her predominantly photographic work, she focuses on metropolitan spaces, taking inspiration from cities like Shanghai, Beijing, São Paulo, Dakar, Chicago, Tokyo and Cairo. She is interested in the uniformity of modernist architecture and the principles of grids and repetition. In a wide range of projects, she documents the urbanisation of the earth and the pollution and destruction that result from it.
