Brittainy Lauback
Brittainy Lauback (b. 1978) is a lens-based artist and educator working in Athens, GA. Her newest project, inspired by a David Foster Wallace essay on cruise life, had her embarking on a cruise ship in the Bahamas to capture its decadence and absurdity. Lauback has shown her images nationally and internationally; more recently, her work was exhibited as part of the Ogden Museum of Art's New Southern Photography. She currently teaches photography and design at the University of Georgia and is a coordinator for The Humid, a space for photographic workshops, lectures, and events in Athens. Her most recent book, Infinite Bonheur, is a 2024 monograph that focuses on the absurdity of the human condition that elicits feelings of humor, majesty, and existential nightmares.
