Tyler Barker

Tyler Barker is a performance artist and videographer who captures glimpses of everyday life. Her work frequently explores themes of intimacy, created space, and closeness. This is fabricated with the help of her participants, through the use of storytelling. She leans on her interest in sociology to explore the concept of personas, and the barriers we create regarding our perceptions of reality. There is a voyeuristic thrill behind her art, often her stories draw on the inspiration of very intimate moments in her everyday life, relying on performative action to instil a sense of belonging and feeling of trust. Using her work as a tool to invite viewers to witness her version of reality, using intimate and exposing methods. Priding herself on getting a true depiction of those involved, seeing every piece as a collaboration and an opportunity to make something beautiful and representative of those involved.
