Bunny Rogers

Bunny Rogers (born 1990) is an American artist[1] known for her multimedia works that often explore themes of loneliness, nostalgia,[2] and alienation through the use of digital and traditional media.[3] Her works span a variety of formats, including sculpture, video, and installation.[4][5][6]

Career

[edit]

Rogers' work is characterized by its engagement with personal and cultural trauma.[7] She first gained attention with her works that utilize characters from her childhood.[1][8][9]

One of Rogers' projects, 'Columbine Library,' consists of several multimedia installations, including 'Mandy’s Piano Solo in Columbine Cafeteria.' This installation features piano covers of several Elliott Smith songs[10][11] This project delves into the themes of grief and remembrance, using the backdrop of the Columbine High School shooting to explore broader societal traumas.[12][13][14]

In addition to "Columbine Library,"[15] Rogers also gained acclaim for her "Kind Kingdom"[16] exhibition held at Kunsrhaus Bregenz,[17] exploring themes of isolation and community through installation[18] and sculptural works. Her other exhibitions include solo shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York,[19] where her series "Brig Und Ladder"[20] was featured.[21] Rogers has participated in numerous group exhibitions where she blended digital technology with traditional artistic elements.[22]
