Historical Photo Archives

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to my extended family album, a draft of the book I would love to publish before I die, including my favorite photos ever taken and never published- iconic images I treasure due to their sentimental power, symbolic weight and historical significance. This collection of personal photographs begins with my family and the origins of my performativity and chronicles my artistic life up to 2017.

Some of these photos already populate my books and myriad magazines, newspapers, websites, posters, brochures and even a few murals and comic books. Others are virtually unknown, especially those capturing projects which were invisible to the art world (a euphemism for strategic exclusion or “bad taste”.

Here is the link to my original photo-performance chronology on Tumblr:
