Nik Liguori is an interdisciplinary artist and writer based in Detroit, Michigan. His work has appeared in the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Media City Film Festival, Winnipeg Underground Film Festival, West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival, Laterale Film Festival, the San Francisco Cinematheque, and The Scarab Club, among others. He is a frequent contributor to the Therapeutic Edgelands zine based in Warren, Michigan.
In my work I strive to reconsider the archive as a deeply resourceful space for creativity and play, freely reimagining fragments of social histories, personal mythologies, and cultural reference in service of auto-fictional narratives steeped in melodrama and fantasy. I work across multiple mediums, including video art and film, collage, zines and book art, and assemblage.
