D.A. Gonzales (b. 1995 Bakersfield,CA) is an artist working between the intertwining of photography and legal systems. Through both tradition and contemporary photography, conceptual strategies, and the performance of legal procedures, Gonzales’ work looks at the ways in which photography both reproduces and forms subjectivities. Drawing from autobiographical and historical sources, these works look at systems of assimilation and the production and contestation of whiteness within the context of the American West. Gonzales holds an MFA from UCLA and is based in a Los Angeles.
