Irene Küng is a Swiss photographer whose work primarily features urban and natural landscapes.

The essentiality of the shots and the ability to make her subjects emerge from the darkness, in fact, express a stylistic and conceptual proximity to the Italian pictorial Renaissance: her works highlight the rational desire to identify new possible paths for a sustainable future and renewed attention to the balance between human and natural. At the same time, Kung's compositions highlight by contrast the ambiguity of urbanization and human neglect, bringing out a subtle disquiet from beauty. Describing suffering through a refined and dreamlike representation is an attempt to generate a new meaning starting from the perceptions of an emotional experience, it is an abstraction that leads the artist from the darkest areas to the meditative dimension, up to the unconscious spaces of the soul.
