Katayoon Yousefbigloo

Bio:

Katayoon Yousefbigloo is an Iranian-born interdisciplinary artist and musician based on the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ Nations (Vancouver, Canada). Through video, music, writing, performance, and visual art she examines how media shapes our mythologies. She investigates potential sites of aesthetic, spiritual, and collective transformation found both materially in undefined or forgotten physical spaces, as well as those embedded within the mass media landscape. Yousefbigloo is a founding member of Liquidation World, an art collective that hosts exhibitions, performances, workshops, fashion shows, and other events.

Katayoon Yousefbigloo reaches over a glass counter covered by guitar pedals to grab a pile of TS cables. She wears a white dress shirt with text reading FETISH FETISH printed in black near its collar. Another white dress shirt with a large block of black text printed on its front is hung on a black clothes hanger and affixed to the white wall behind her via two pieces of blue painters tape.
