Joe Ovelman Figurative Photography

b. 1970

Joe Ovelman is an artist who explores sexuality, the subversion of social norms and marginalized communities in his work. He often invites anonymous individuals to participate in his practice. He has exhibited his art widely and is represented in the permanent collections of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Alabama. For this project, each stranger wears the artist’s jacket. In turn, Ovelman kneels wearing the jacket of each stranger. These photographs were shot using a tripod and timer in The Ramble in Central Park, New York City, during Thanksgiving weekend in 2000.
