Martine Gutierrez

Of Guatemalan and American descent, Martine Gutierrez (b. 1989) documents her exploration of heritage, gender fluidity, trans identity, and LGBTQ and Latinx beauty in multimedia works.

Gutierrez is an artist, performer, and musician who produces elaborate narrative scenes that employ pop culture tropes in order to explore the complexity, fluidity and nuances of both personal and collective identity. Working across performance, photography and film, Gutierrez simultaneously acts as subject, artist and muse. She asserts control over her own image by executing each stage of the creative process herself, including staging, lighting, makeup, costuming, modeling, and photography.
