Kenzi Crash, 2023 Finalist

An east coaster through and through, Kenzi Crash is a documentarian of their own world and a fantasizer of alternative realities. She is a queer archivist, a sex and kink positive artist, a smut peddler, and a hopeful visionary of the future.  Wielding a camera for the past two decades she has contributed to the realization of countless other people’s fantasies, successfully experimented with moving images, and memorialized hundreds of members of her community. Eroticism and the unique beauty of queerness continue to be the heartbeat that pumps blood into the veins of her work, and in her new series they take center stage.
