ARTIST BIO:
CR4CKROCK (they / them) is a Dominican filmmaker, installation artist, and DJ currently pursuing an MFA in Moving Image at Columbia University. Their work integrates BDSM aesthetics and kink practices as a way to explore and queer themes of violence. CR4CKROCK aims to deconstruct the gallery space, challenging its traditional colonial associations, and reimagines it as a site that is intrinsically linked to the underground and Black cultural expressions - asserting that the underground is Black.
A self-identified Club Kid, their practice bridges underground venues and institutional contexts, lying where identity politics, immersive installations, and ephemeral events intermingle and intersect across gallery walls and hidden backrooms.
Their notable works include Object Permanence (2025), featured and premiering in London as a part of Trans Video Buffet, and My Body Is An Object, The Camera Is A Gun (2025), showcased at the Museum of Mix in Brooklyn. These pieces have been exhibited in various venues and film festivals internationally.
