Agate Tūna

Agate Tūna (born in 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist from Riga, Latvia, working across photography, photographic installations, experimental video, and sound art. Her work explores the intersection between technology and spirituality, using family narratives and shared histories to blur the lines between reality and fiction. Tūna’s photography began with staged self-portraits, exploring themes of identity and change, which continue to shape her practice. The main technique she develops is Chemigram photography, but she has expanded her work into video, exploring the metamorphic qualities of photographic images. Her current focus is on the dual role of crystals, especially quartz, in both spiritual and technological contexts. Tūna holds a degree in Painting and an MA in POST from the Art Academy of Latvia. She has exhibited internationally and was nominated for the Purvītis Prize 2025.
