Kerry Tribe
Kerry Tribe (born in 1973, Boston) lives in Los Angeles. She received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2002 and was a Whitney Independent Study Program Fellow. For over a decade, her time-based works have explored memory and representation through film, video, performance, and installation. Focusing on the mechanics of representation—particularly cinematic representation—its metaphoric potential and its engagement with reality, her art addresses processes of thought and their relationship to subjectivity, narrative, place and time. Employing image, text, sound, structure, and space, her work plays upon the internal workings and ingrained habits of the mind, its unavoidable quirks, flaws, and shifting fault-lines. Stimulating both reflexive experience and a reflection upon such experience, she prompts an unusual type of self- consciousness, a disorienting and discomforting awareness of the gaps between perception, cognition, and memory, the fluidity—and ultimate unreliability—of each.
