Spring 2025 A-I-R: Amina Gingold

Amina Gingold is a multidisciplinary artist working across photography, filmmaking, and bookmaking. Throughout her work, she explores themes of memory, instinct, and perception, often setting her work within the domestic sphere. Psychologically, she is interested in the destruction or undoing of normative upbringings. By using miniatures to recreate scenes tied to family history, she investigates how home environments bear traces of family drama and isolation. She places herself as a figure within these spaces, embodying consciousness, emotion, and queer identity. Her work merges text and imagery, crafting a visual language that reflects the narrative structures of filmmaking.
