Tracey Snelling, born in Oakland in 1970, is an American artist living and working in Berlin. Trained in fine arts at the University of New Mexico, she has developed a practice that brings together sculpture, installation, photography, and video.
She is known for creating models and architectural structures punctuated by windows, screens, and sound, where film fragments and narrative moments turn the city into an intimate stage, poised between social observation and the allure of looking. In 2015, she received the Painters and Sculptors Grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation and took part in a residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. More recently, her project About Us was presented at the Procuratie Vecchie in Venice, as part of The Human Safety Net with Generali, curated by Luca Massimo Barbero.
