Krista Gay (she/they) is a Los Angeles born, New York based artist working through photography, video, text, and sound installation. Thinking about the images of Blackness circulated throughout the internet, television, news, and other forms of media. The work pauses here; an encounter, an act of refusal, a riot, a listening, staying with the trouble. Welcoming the viewer into a space where voyeurism is acceptable and then sitting back and watching the watcher. Looking in from the other side in order to reclaim the gaze upon the Black female body.

They received their BFA from SVA in Photo/Video and their MFA from Columbia University with a focus in moving image. Past exhibitions of their work include Kunsthall Stavanger, Sadie Coles, Super Dakota, and The Wallach Art Gallery as well as a collaborative publication in the Brooklyn Rail.
