Evaluator Stephanie Deumer (Artist)

Stephanie Deumer (b.1989, Oakville, Ontario, Canada) is an artist currently working in Los Angeles, California. Comprised of video, sculpture, and photography, her installations often incorporate their environment by using recordings and photographs from their surroundings. This process reveals the entanglements between identity, imagery, objects, and space with the goal of pulling apart the common cultural belief in the existence of distinct things—including ourselves. Much of her work presents women subjectively experiencing and interacting with their representations, and simultaneously expresses the mise en abyme of their objectification in infinite replications. Deumer received a BA at the University of Guelph and an MFA at California Institute of the Arts. She is a prospective participant in the 2018-2019 Whitney Independent Study Studio Program in New York.
