Madeleine Fogliani is a Perth based photographer whose work explores the intricate relationship between humanity and the environment, both personal and collective. A graduate of Curtin University with a Bachelor of Arts, Madeleine’s practice shifts fluidly between suburban documentary and surreal experimentation, capturing the absurd, the poetic, and the uncanny within the familiar. Driven by a deep curiosity about identity, human experience, and the spaces we inhabit, Madeleine’s lens brings attention to the ways in which personal narratives and larger environmental contexts intertwine, creating visually powerful works that invite reflection and emotional engagement.
Her recent artistic achievements include being selected as a finalist in the 2024 Perth Centre for Photography’s CLIP Award and a finalist in the 2025 City of Subiaco Photographic Awards.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual artists in Australia.
