Across photography, collage, and modeling, Jude Ribisi's archive of collaboration documents the intimacy accumulated through a life of repeated encounters, shared spaces, self-documentation, and queer artistic exchange.

For my photography, I take on more of an archival role, where each shoot is a record of our shared encounter. Shoots can be deeply intimate and personal for both the artist and the subject.
It’s a documentation of our shared and unique masculine vulnerabilities, intimacies, and beauties as we navigate our experience together and parse out the confusing world around us.

Originally known as the SELFIE:PATTERN project, my collage work was borne out of a period of being under undue stress as a desperate need to express something I couldn’t understand. Being colorblind, these works started initially out as a color exploration exercise, but it’s grown into something I didn’t expect it to.
These reconstructed bodies have grown into more of an exploration of queer sexual liberation by utilizing intimate photos my subjects provide, exposing a window into queer lives and sexuality.

My art started in modeling. I would not be any sort of artist, had I not met such talented and beautiful photographers and artists that captured me with their own individualistic artistic voice. To be a muse is to be living art, critical to the process of creating beauty.
Modeling allows me to see myself through another's eyes, a cathartic and therapeutic exercise.

Using the camera as a mirror, this theme explores the relationship between our perception of ourselves and the passage of time through self-portrait photography and digital collage.
Unlike collaborative portraiture, these works close the distance between subject and voyeur, turning the camera inward to explore what happens when the body becomes both the one seeing and the one being seen.
