Marissa Delano
(b.1991) USA
Bio
Marissa Delano’s work examines how the body later enters spaces of spectacle and exchange. Drawing from her experience working in Los Angeles strip clubs, her photographs depict intimate scenes where desire, vulnerability, and violence intersect. Within her installations, sculptural structures and punctured frames recalling the cinematic keyhole organize the act of looking, staging the body within systems of voyeurism.
