Connie Samaras lives and works in Los Angeles. She was born in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. Working primarily in photography and video, she employs a variety
of interdisciplinary frames and aesthetic strategies in developing projects. Her
ongoing interests include: the variable membrane between fiction and real
world; political geographies and psychological dislocation in the everyday;
speculative landscapes and architectural narratives; science fiction genres and
future imaginaries; the legacy of U.S. social change movements in a shifting global
economy; paradox and the political unconscious; desire, popular culture, feminist
and queer theory; art as historical artifact, the aesthetics of time, and differing
systems of cataloguing history. In addition to an extensive record of art exhibitions,
lectures, reviews, and awards, she’s also published writings, narrative and critical,
on a range of topics.
