Ann Hamilton Body Object Series

Combining performance, video, music, photographs, and textiles into a single installation, Ann Hamilton (born 1956) seeks to explore the relationship between visual, verbal, and written language. A native of Ohio, she earned degrees in sculpture and fine arts from the University of Kansas and Yale University.

Haunting yet playful, the photographs depict Hamilton interacting with objects and wearing garments, which include a bushy headdress, a loudspeaker exploding with paper, and her famous “toothpick suit.”
