Biografie

Myla Dalbesio ist eine amerikanische, multidisziplinär arbeitende Künstlerin, spezialisiert auf Fotografie, Performance, Video, Installation und Skulptur. Geboren 1987 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, studierte sie Kunst an der Universität von Wisconsin-Madison. Ihre Arbeit ist stark beeinflusst von Religion und rituellen Praktiken, mystischen Mustern der natürlichen Welt, den – nach ihrer Auffassung – allen Menschen zugrunde liegenden sexuellen Perversionen sowie ihrer Verortung als Frau in einer von männlichen Bildern geprägten Welt.

 

Derzeit lebt und arbeitet sie in New York.
