Sondra Perry

Movies

Tomatoes
Director of Photography
Across the installation's multiple channels, the camera circles a group of artists as they sit together in a field eating, licking, and squeezing ripe tomatoes. Throughout the ever-changing scene, kisses, whispers, and caresses are shared with a casual, gentle intimacy that reflects interconnectivity and abundance. These queer and desirous exchanges constitute a portrait of collectivity wherein individuals come together as distinct parts of a whole.
IT’S IN THE GAME ‘17 or Mirror Gag for Vitrine and Protection
Director
Working primarily in digital media and installation, Sondra Perry’s interest lies in the relationship between identity and the digital realm; specifically in what she refers to as the “abstraction of subjecthood” that occurs in technologically-rendered images of blackness. Her work seeks to interrogate and elucidate the role of digital technology in the systematic oppression of black identities.
