Artists at Work: Aimee Goguen by Ezequiel Olvera
For Aimee Goguen, the neon miasma rising from the sunny decay of guts and garbage holds the scent of sexual and cultural regeneration. Curator and artist Ezequiel Olvera delves into Goguen’s layered practice, exploring how her work dissects themes of identity, metamorphosis, bodily transformation, self-amputation, and the uncanny beauty of decomposition. Their conversation traverses films and prominent artists of queer Los Angeles, where animation, memory, and personal mythology converge, pushing the boundaries of identity through the grotesque and sublime.
