Diego Hernández Sancho (b. 1996.  Zaragoza, Spain) is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with photography, time-based media, installation and found objects. He lives and works in London, UK.

His work engages with the concept of time and a psychoanalytic understanding of nostalgia. Through photography, his practice considers the limitations of photographic language and the inadequacy of language itself as modes of representation. In doing so, it reflects on subjectivity, transience, and the unstable relation between image and reality.

Interested in the elasticity of time and memory, he conceives photography as a speculative apparatus imbued with paranormal qualities, examining the unstable boundary between representation and the supernatural. Drawing on the ghostly logic of horror fiction, his practice explores how images suspend, distort, and rupture ordinary reality through their emotional dimension.

Heavily influenced by filmmaking and montage techniques, Diego’s work constructs meaning through the recombination of images and media, trusting interpretation to emerge from the tension and interaction between discordant elements.

In 2022, he founded PANG! Projects, an itinerant platform for contemporary creatives, based primarily between London and Barcelona.










 
A conjuntion of images taken the two prior days to the fire of Notre Dame. Happiness is an extremely uneventful subject is a photographic project and self-published zine captured in the space of two days in the coast of South England. Featuring the artist’s partner at the time and immersed in a feeling of intimacy, peace and stillness, all images were captured in a single roll of 35 mm film. The roll was over by the time the news of Notre Dame’s destructive fire broke while sitting on the beach of Brighton on their way back home.

And Time, in our camp, is moving
As you’d anticipate it to
But what is this sample proving?
Anecdotes cannot say what Time may do
