Aimee Goguen is a Los Angeles-born visual artist working primarily in video, drawing, and writing. Her practice examines perversion and putrefaction in relation to human behavior, reclaiming the grotesque and reprocessing trauma by crafting scenarios that re-imagine bullying and molestation as staged, repetitive actions. Often, Goguen presents the body as a disgusting bloated creature or globule, fragmented and re-assembled into a new-whole. She re-imagines anatomy and physiology, emphasizing deterioration and decomposition through animation. Her work has been featured in The Oxford Handbook of Queer Cinema, reviewed by William J. Simmons, and in Bee Reaved by Dodie Bellamy. Goguen co-curated video programs including Afterglow: Summer Video Series with Harry Dodge (LA/NY, 2014-16). She is currently the Archivist for Michael Taussig.
