gina osterloh

Gina Osterloh’s photography, film, video and performance based artwork depicts mark-making and her own body traversing, tracing, and puncturing photographic space in a quest to interrogate the boundaries of self and Other, and expand notions of identity. Osterloh’s printed photographs depict large scale photo tableaux environments as well as drawing on photo backdrop paper, that expand our understanding of portraiture and what photography can be. Symbolic themes and formal elements such as the void, orifice, and the grid, in addition to a heightened awareness of color, repetitive pattern and actions, appear throughout Osterloh’s work.
