#multimedia installations

Otherworldly costumes and videos embrace the terms "creature" and "freak" as a playful and unapologetic statement, using exaggerated forms and edits to challenge the boundaries of the body and societal norms, and as a way to explore my evolving understanding of gender and identity.

I aim for a whimsical and deranged aesthetic, blending playful and unsettling elements through exaggerated forms, layered textures, and patterns. The intentional imperfections celebrate raw self-expression and challenge the things we push away to feel secure. The costumes are more than just objects; they are essential characters that come to life in my moving images, allowing the presentation to evolve freely and intuitively as I edit. Ultimately, each piece embodies a part of me, reflecting my imagination and the self while celebrating a joyful, messy, and authentic freedom of expression – a self portrait.

The first book on the artist collective known for their raucous multimedia installations. Founded by artist Eli Sudbrack, assume vivid astro focus has been dazzling the art world since 1994 with its exuberant, visually spectacular room-size installations.

Created out of recycled and appropriated imagery from a wide range of sources--such as unicorn tapestries, children's stickers, pages from gay porn magazines, album covers, Buddhist thangka paintings, and street graffiti, to name a few--the finished works can feel like a cross between a '70s disco, Brazilian Carnival, and a psychedelic version of Andy Warhol's Factory.

This volume, their first, will include many of the elements featured in their installations, which are known for the many "give-aways" the artists provide the visitors: a blow-in poster, postcard and sticker pages, and a pop-up, all designed by avaf.
