She lives and works in New York City and makes self portrait photography.[1] StyleAmorphous uses in-camera effects, modified lenses, mirrors, and handmade camera attachments. Her style, as she describes it, is conceptual photography with an emphasis on pictorialism and surrealism.[2] Acting as her own model, she explores the meaning of identity by assuming different roles.[3] Amorphous has stated that the "study of consciousness"[4] and the concept of duende[5] are primary influences in her work. She has also cited butoh as an influence.[6] OverviewBorn in Providence, Rhode Island, Amorphous attended high school in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Upon graduating, she moved to New York City, where she experimented with modeling, acting, and performance poetry. In a 2008 interview with art critic Brian Sherwin, she cited her early social involvement in the New York City theater and cabaret scenes as influences in her early photographic work.[7] A self-taught photographer, Amorphous began working exclusively with self-portrait photography while living in Rhode Island in 2007. Her early self-portraits focused on character studies, costuming, and makeup.[4] Amorphous' 2009 Resurrecting Ophelia series of self-portraits cast her as the fictional character Ophelia. Like much of her later work, the series relied on in-camera effect with Amorphous positioned behind glass, acrylic, and textiles.[8] The series was exhibited in Amorphous' hometown in a solo exhibition at the Community College of Rhode Island{{cn|date=November 2018}} and appeared in print in the premier issues of Dark Beauty magazine[9] and The Omen Magazine.[10] In 2011, Amorphous was named in GLAAD's annual Top 100 Artists.{{cn|date=November 2018}} She is a recipient of the Julia Margaret Cameron Award for self-portraiture from The Photography Gala Awards.{{cn|date=November 2018}} Amorphous's recent projects use distortion mirror boards created with reflective material. In her series Glass Houses, she appears in a series of Curreal and distorted self-portraits which look as if they were submerged in water.[11] Of the series, Lancia Trendvisions wrote: "The mirror is just a surface. Exactly like the photographs that portray it. They cannot depict what is hidden under their patina: the distortions of our fears, the destructuring push of our desires. But photographer Kalliope Amorphous searches for just that impalpable spirit."[12] In her distorted self-portraits, Amorphous explores what she calls "the fluid nature of identity".[13] In addition to self-portraits, Amorphous began working with glitch art in 2013. In 2014, she completed a series of experimental photographs of performance artist Marina Abramovic.[14] Amorphous appears opposite Matthew Avedon in the music video Savage Way to Live for the Brooklyn-based band Relations.[15] References1. ^{{cite news|accessdate=2018-11-22|title=Is This What Your Dreams Look Like?|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/04/24/kalliope-amorphous-stroboscopic-photography_n_1448298.html|newspaper=HuffPost UK|date=25 April 2012}} 2. ^"Kalliope Amorphous Photography: Conceptual Pictorial Self Portraits".
