Artist
Photography
Eleanor Antin is an American artist working across performance, video, photography, and installation since the 1970s. Her practice engages narrative and identity through fictional personas and historical reimagining, often positioning herself as the subject. She has created large-scale photographic sequences, video performances, and site-specific installations that interrogate autobiography, authorship, and the boundaries between fact and fiction. Her work draws on conceptual art and feminist strategies to construct alternative histories and personas.
