Cynthia Bittenfield pursues projects that shed light on the human cost of war, whether dealing with post-traumatic stress, documenting sites of battlefields and atrocity, or considering life on the home front. The discovery of her father’s wartime scrapbook after he died inspired this new direction in her work.

 

Recently, her work was featured in A Path Home: Visualizing Trauma and Healing, New Jersey City University, Jersey City, NJ; The End of War, Northlight Gallery, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ; and The Homecoming Project in Austin, TX. Her work has been exhibited at the School of Visual Arts Gallery, and Broadway Gallery, both in New York City; The Print Center in Philadelphia; Photography NOW 2010: Either/And, Part 2: The New Docugraphics at The Center for Photography at Woodstock; and The Art of Photography Show in San Diego, CA where she was awarded an honorable mention. 

 

Bittenfield assisted Krzysztof Wodiczko on his Veteran's Flame Project, which was a part of Creative Time’s Plot 9, on Governor's Island, NY. She co-curated an exhibit, Solitude of Space, at the Camera Club of New York, guest lectured at the International Center of Photography and Pratt Institute and presented at the Twenty-Third Annual National Conference on Liberal Arts and the Education of Artists, Visions of War: the arts represent conflict, at the School of Visual Arts, NY.

Bittenfield was awarded a grant from the School of Visual Arts, New York, where she received her MFA in Photography, Video and Related Media. She lives and works in New York City and is currently on the board of the Camera Club of New York.
