Megan Plunkett

Press release

In Megan Plunkett’s second solo exhibition The Already World at Sweetwater, presented on the occasion of Gallery Weekend 2025, two new series of work comprise the exhibition: images of prop dollar bills shot in the desert beyond the outskirts of Los Angeles and mysterious portraits of heavyweight garbage bags. In her practice, she captures common objects and everyday scenes that disrupt viewers’ perception of the familiar by irrupting the common visual features.

Plunkett is interested in techniques of image making, questioning how images function in our everyday visual landscapes. With experience in forensic and objective photography, Plunkett crafts images with hidden details and unexpected twists achieved through a variety of analog photographic techniques.
