about

Jeepneys (Anna Luisa Petrisko) is a multimedia artist and educator in Los Angeles, named after the converted WWII army jeeps of the Philippines. Once tools of colonialism and war, jeepneys became salient cultural icons and useful modes of transportation, and this cultural transformation motivates the artistic practice. Jeepneys’ family ran a jeepney business in Manila before immigrating to the U.S., where the artist was born.

Whether it is experimental opera or multimedia installation, Jeepneys’ work is an otherworldly spectacle that explores science fiction motifs where future and ancient ideas collide. Her trademark hand-painted bodysuits are re-indigenized alien skin, referencing the pre-colonial tattooing practices of Pacific Ocean Peoples. With synthesized sounds, intuitive movement, and inter-dimensional imagery, Jeepneys creates new mythological landscapes.
