Diana Ammann is a Swiss contemporary artist, costume and creature designer based in Basel, Switzerland. Her work spans a range of media — from designing costumes and masks for stage productions to collaborating with brands, designers, musicians, and photographers on photo and video styling projects.
Her creative passion lies in developing imaginative creatures that challenge social norms and celebrate diversity. Under her label Imaginary Friends & Creatures, Ammann brings to life a colorful community of eccentric characters. Ranging from shy to charming, cocky to mysterious, vulnerable to friendly, these beings represent the experience of standing out and not fitting in. They question everyday realities and social expectations. Wearing masks and headpieces, they dissolve distinctions between gender, age, and species. With humor and extravagance, the creatures highlight the absurdities of daily life and blur the boundaries of what is considered normal.
By interacting with humans and encouraging connections between all beings, they embody and celebrate the love found in diversity.
Ammann frequently works with pre-existing materials, such as second-hand clothing or found objects, transforming them into imaginative and unconventional creations.
