D.A. Gonzales (b. 1995, Bakersfield, CA) is a conceptual documentary photographer whose work looks at the social systems and technologies that construct subjectivities. Utilizing traditional and contemporary photographic approaches, legal strategies, and conceptual methods, Gonzales works in the mode of, what the artist has termed, a ‘postmesizo aesthetic.’ That is, an administrative and bureaucratic lense in order to make visible the systems of Latinx mestizaje and assimilation within the so-called American West and the underlying currents of a world that could be free.
