Leopoldo Bloom

For over twenty-five years, Leopoldo Bloom has been creating visual memoirs in the 35mm gauge. His hand-processed films, expanded cinema, and performance art has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Cinematheque, and Art in Odd Places. His first book How to Transition on Sixty-Three Cents a Day is a memoir made up of thirty-one unbound postcards housed in a metal film can and is held in over two dozen special collections worldwide. His current work in progress The Migratory Patterns of North American Queers at the Turn of the Century uses the obsolete template of the family photo album to allow readers to chronicle their lives through the lens of queer migration, instead of breeding and marriage.
