Laura Ohio (b. 1991, Canada) is a visual artist working across sculpture, film, and performance. Engaging the physical body, architectural metaphors, personal archives, and cinematic production, her work confronts the psychic and social pressures of late stage capitalism and examines the body's entanglement in systems of surveillance and enclosure.
Ohio studied art and anthropology at the University of Alberta and completed her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts. Recent film screenings include NYC Film Diary (USA), Alchemy Film Festival (Scotland), Bideodromo (Spain), Porn Film Festival Berlin (Germany), Winnipeg Underground Film Festival (Canada), and Gimme Some Truth Film Festival (Canada). She is currently living and working between Los Angeles, CA and Edmonton, AB. hello(at)laura-ohio(dot)com |
