Hoote Nannie (°1977, Brooklyn, NY, United States) makes photos and films. By rejecting an objective truth and global cultural narratives, Nannie considers making art a craft which is executed using clear formal rules and which should always refer to social reality.
His photos often refers to pop and mass culture. Using written and drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created. By focusing on techniques and materials, he creates with daily, recognizable elements, an unprecedented situation in which the viewer is confronted with the conditioning of his own perception and has to reconsider his biased position.
His work urge us to renegotiate photography as being part of a reactive or – at times – autistic medium, commenting on oppressing themes in our contemporary society. By using popular themes such as sexuality, family structure and violence, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognised, such as the relation with popular culture and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations.
His works are notable for their perfect finish and tactile nature. This is of great importance and bears witness to great craftsmanship. Hoote Nannie currently lives and works in Venice.
