Rate My Professor Rebecca Sittler

Sittler’s research specializations include Photography and Expanded Photographic Practice, Artist Books, Photographic Archives, Machine Learning, Cognition surrounding Objects and Images, Gender and Representation, and the Relationship between Photography and Narrative Fiction. Her photographic work explores museum displays and still-life objects assembled in the studio or found in the world, featuring projects on gendered representations in U.S. presidential museums, the volatility of photography via the Queen Mary ocean liner, still-lifes inspired by Gertrude Stein prose poems, speculative archives of female stowaways and sailors, and products from Long Beach independent donut shops. This engages playful activation of interpretive networks, contrasting insignificance and monumentality, animate and inanimate, historical and hypothetical. She exhibited at Filter Space Gallery, Sam Lee Gallery, Daniel Cooney Gallery, Photographic Center Northwest, Torrance Museum of Art, Griffin Museum, Atlantic Center for the Arts, RayKo Gallery, Photographic Resource Center, Duke University, University of Florida, Texas Woman’s University, Boston University, Washington State University, and internationally in Russia, South Korea, China, and England.
