Kim Hoeckele

Kim Hoeckele is a multimedia artist living in New York, New York whose mediums include performance art, photography, found objects and video art.

Early life and education
Kim Hoeckele received her B.F.A. in Photography from Georgia State University and received her M.F.A. in studio art from Hunter College in New York, in 2012.

Themes
Hoeckele's work draws from appropriated images and found objects to construct work that quotes from and reconfigures male-dominant viewpoints carried through literary, art historical, and philosophical works of the Western Canon. Her performance work Rosy-Crimson stemmed from a close reading of the Ancient Greek epic poem The Odyssey. In Rosy-Crimson she appropriates recurring text that omits Odysseus, and rearranges it into a script experimentally performed by actors. In epoch, stage, shell, Hoeckele photographs her body as author and subject to perform sculptural poses for the camera, which are modeled from Greco-Roman ethnographic, art historical, and commercial images.
