“Mass produced
ready-made objects,
staged garments and
elements of glamour
are configured into
sculptures that mimic
human proportions
and poses...”
Born:
1990 — Tennessee,
United States.
‘Never Been Kissed’:
Presents a series of
sculptures, photographs
and two new films by
the New York-based
artist, which explores
the relationship between
fashion-exploitation
and contemporary
culture.
“Inspired by Hollywood
and following the logic
of the stage to screen
to adaptation, Ojo
extends this transference
one step further, into
an exhibition format.”
