Trisha Baga (1985)

Trisha Baga

Trisha Baga is an American artist working in various media, including video installations, sculpture, painting and audio installations. She is known for her experiments with technology and often uses voice and body in her work. 

Her work is often interactive and a combination of different elements such as projections, sounds, objects and movement. She is also known for her use of private elements such as mobile phones to create unique and personal works of art.

Trisha Baga draws on the heritage of sculpture, painting, music, photography and literature in her practice. Among the subjects and themes she explores are contemporary events, the worship of heroes and celebrities, and collective history. Baga's installations often include film, consisting of montages and collages of found footage and photographs, stacked in such a way that some images obscure others; the films are projected directly onto the wall, over personal items and rubbish from her studio so that they cast shadows on the projection.

Her work has been exhibited in many museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in Los Angeles, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Venice Biennale.
