Chloe Abidi - Lens-Based Artist

Chloe Abidi (b. 2002, USA) is an experimental lens-based artist presently living in NYC. Understanding the work of art as a liberatory practice and as unique to other mediums, she explores historical lineages, image circulation, the technological, divinity, and the natural through reappropriated and repurposed images, alternative processes, installation, and photography. 

​

Interested in how art can exist in opposition to functioning as referential to a secondary idea, she is exploring in the destruction of ego, paternalism, and aura in artmaking, as well as avoidance of didacticism and a singularized meaning and understanding of work. Her work seeks to surpass and defeat image conventions like omniscience and vantage point, temporality, space, and referent and semiotics.
