ANTHONY CARUSO

Anthony Caruso uses his exposed body as both image and social condition. Across constructed self-portraits and participatory performances, his work examines how vulnerability is observed, classified, managed, and transformed through encounters with public and institutional space.

From Incongruous, an ongoing series of self-portraits and site-responsive actions.

SELECTED WORK

Photography and live actions examining exposure, public interpretation, institutional judgment, and the unstable boundary between choosing to be seen and being defined by others.

INCONGRUOUS

INCONGRUOUS: PUBLIC STUDY I

AWAY

Self-portrait photography and site-responsive actions · 2023–present

Site-responsive live performance · In development, 2026

Durational participatory performance · In development, 2026

The body is deliberately exposed, but its meaning is never controlled by the body alone.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT

Caruso is currently developing AWAY, Incongruous: Public Study I, and Wet Cake for live presentation. He is seeking curatorial dialogue, development residencies, site partners, and opportunities for work-in-progress or first public presentations.
