John Spiak - Arizona State University Art Museum
Photographs, Videos and Drawings. Artist's dream-like photographs are peopled with multiple self-portraits. Using digital manipulation, Goicolea clones himself and creates scenarios in which he acts out both humorous and horrific childhood incidents. His photographs are simultaneously rooted in the complexities of social conventions, nostalgia and science fiction, and fall somewhere between fantasy and nightmare.
