Photographer Ina Jungmann transforms a medium known for freezing time into one that explores our layered relationship with place, memory, and hope. Her work often moves between present reality, historical resonance, and imagined futures — made visible through the technique of multiple exposure. The result is a body of fine art photography that is textured, nuanced, and often otherworldly.
Born in Germany and based internationally, Jungmann brings an outsider’s perspective to each place she photographs. Her projects have taken her across continents — from capturing life in Damascus just before the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, to tracing the echoes of ideology at Murphy Ranch in California’s Pacific Palisades. Her work has been exhibited in the United States, Germany, Syria, and Poland.
Jungmann studied photography and visual arts at UCLA and the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. She trained under artists James Welling and Rudolf Schäfer, and continues to be mentored by renowned Japanese photographer Miyako Ishiuchi.
No matter the subject, Jungmann’s photography merges experimentation, visual storytelling, and historical context — bridging cultural and temporal distances through the power of the image.
