ARTIST RESUME (download)

GINA RYMARCSUK works in photography and digital media. Her research is deeply rooted in the study of optics, the body of the camera, the physics of light and often immersed in the formulaic and procedural study of the photographic process. Her work ranges extensively from the nature of visual illusion to the structure of linguistics and references feats of architecture and avian structure. She obsessively assembles and systemically arranges data through a process, which employs digital media and analog technologies in order to achieve a level of clarity that wouldn’t be possible by way of an exclusively analogue approach.

She heads the Photography Area in the Department of Film at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.
