AY DIOS
Diana Blok was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, as the daughter of a Dutch diplomat and an Argentinean mother, and grew up in Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico. After studying sociology in Mexico City she settled permanently in The Netherlands in 1974, where she devoted herself to photography. Over the course of the years Blok has shown frequently in The Netherlands, North and South America and Japan. Presently she also makes films and video installations, works together with diverse artists, and regularly conducts masterclasses at various art academies in The Netherlands and other countries. The photo series AY DIOS arose from a commission from the Mondriaan Foundation to photograph for four months on Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire.
