Genevieve Kuzak

Genevieve Kuzak is a self-taught photographer, videographer, media editor and writer. His work explores elements of pornography, mental illness, gay and lesbian sexuality, butch masculinity and the darkness of the internet. He was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan but spent his childhood in Iwakuni, Japan. This exposure to different cultures at an early age, combined with his experiences as a gender nonconforming child, helped cement an understanding of social norms to be arbitrary and constantly changing. Genevieve’s work was born on Tumblr, mimicking the aesthetic of a depressed and queer generation. This evolved into a narrative portraying the artist’s subjects as characters in visceral fantasy worlds. Genevieve is currently studying programming and hopes to incorporate more elements of code into his artistic work. Notable influences include Dennis Cooper, Larry Clark, Ana Mendieta, and the poet Dylan Thomas.
