NAME

About

I am an artist based in the Los Angeles area, and earned my BFA in photography from California State University, Long Beach. My observation-based practice focuses primarily on the poetic possibilities inherent to the photographic medium. A few years ago, I began to explore challenges I have faced because of my disability by way of performance-based video pieces. Please email with any questions // mckenzie.stribich@gmail.com

I made these images at a time when I was thinking a lot about our image-saturated culture. They were later selected for a group exhibition at CSULB called Breakdown.

I made this video a year ago for my senior show at CSULB. It’s called “The Hill.” It was projected at a large scale on the back wall of the smallest gallery. Upon entering, the viewers found themselves immersed by the sound.

This is a performance/video piece I made a few years ago called “It Never Really Goes Away.”

Endurance

I was going to wait to make a tidier version of this video–which I actually attempted (and failed)–but this blog is as much about process as it is outcome.

I was in pain by the end.

This video is called “Endurance.”

Museum Series Final Edit

I just realized I never actually put up the final edit of my museum project. For anyone interested, this is what I got into the bachelor of fine arts program at Cal State Long Beach with (I have copies of these files with much better color balance somewhere, but for now…)

I’m in a rut…

A big, huge rut. But here’s a picture.

A departure from my usual work, but I’ve very recently become fascinated with the databending phenomenon. I think this fascination has something to do with how cryptic and unpredictable it is and how many different possibilities it presents.
