Ella Ga

Inspired by ocean gyres, Ellie Ga’s performance gathers sound recordings, photographs, video, interviews, and archival documents into a layered narrative—part essay, part storytelling—that often follows uncertain leads and takes unexpected turns. Gyre 4: Epitaphs explores ways that images on stone have come to represent, either deliberately or unintentionally, different dimensions of propaganda, resistance, and memorial. The first three works in her series Gyres was produced for the 2019 Whitney Biennial.
