Project Space Residency

Mickey Aloisio (NY)

June 15 – June 30, 2027

Artist Statement

In my interdisciplinary practice, I work across photographic processes, sculpture, video, and installation. I use analog and alternative methods such as expired slide film, silver gelatin printing, cyanotypes, X-ray–damaged negatives, CB radios, and improvised display systems.
As a queer person navigating a world dominated by screens and virtual connection, my earlier works sought to sustain a sense of corporeal anticipation, while my more recent work has shifted toward material exploration and familial and social histories.
Installation is central to my practice. Photographs are presented as objects within constructed systems such as shelving, sculptural supports, or enclosed viewing structures, shaping how they are experienced in space.
I am interested in how images exist between documentation and object, relying on sequence and material process to create narratives of longing, counter-navigation, and communication.
