Given Over to Want Sculpting the body with tape, shadow-play and boxed wine allows for the exploration of human want, both natural and contrived. The performance deals with the themes of transformation and desire. The image is as primordial as it is hungry and holy, both fully human and fully alien. Esculpir el cuerpo con cinta adhesiva, juegos de sombras y vino en caja permite la exploración del deseo humano, tanto natural como artificial. La performance explora temas de transformación y deseo. La imagen es tan primordial como hambrienta y santa, a la vez completamente humana y extraña.

Shadow Woman In Shadow Woman, the body and its shadow oppose and support each other, at times indiscernible, underscoring the psychological split between illusion and reality, perception and projection. The performance investigates the tracing of the silhouette as an early form of photography and the desire to fix an image of self and other. En Shadow Woman, el cuerpo y su sombra se oponen y se apoyan, a veces indiscernibles, subrayando la división psicológica entre la ilusión y la realidad, la percepción y proyección. La performance investiga el trazado de la silueta como una forma primativa de fotografía y el deseo de fijar una imagen del yo y del otro. Gina Osterloh’s practice embodies the printed image, drawing, film and performance, exploring resonances between the physical body and its representational stand-in. She cites growing up mixed-race in Ohio as leading her to photography and larger questions of being, identity, and how a viewer perceives difference. Osterloh has exhibited internationally and has been reviewed in Art in America, The New Yorker Magazine, Art Asia Pacific, Asian Art News, and KCET Artbound, among others. Honors and awards include a Fulbright in the Philippines, a Woodstock Center of Photography residency, and a Create Cultivate Grant with LA County Arts Commission and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE).
