Ellie Rae Hunter

Ellie Rae Hunter’s practice bridges video and sculptural work to investigate the ways in which societal norms and expectations are absorbed into our physical bodies. Hunter incorporates autobiographical materials into fictional worlds to experiment with different corporal realities. The idea of a “patient” is key, as Hunter considers the ways in which a pathologizing ethic extends beyond medical institutions and into every corner of our lives, rendering us perpetual patients - bodies waiting to be acted upon. In this paradigm, physical and spiritual inadequacy are a given, a starting point.
