John Opera

John Opera Work from his oeuvre. “Working simultaneously with the culturally historicized trope of landscape photography and the conceptual, experimental photograph, John Opera is concerned with the way the natural, exterior world and the abstract, interior world converge.

I created the images by manipulating historical portraits and movie stills, accentuating key elements such as the hands, guns, eyes, feathers, […]

I also recommend the Basement Performances Series. “This body of work examines motherhood as an event steeped simultaneously in the intensity of anxiety and exhilaration, momentous gain and the spectre of loss. It is both a […]
