Aziz + Cucher

Anthony Aziz and Sammy Cucher are American artists based in Brooklyn, New York who work together as the collaborative duo Aziz + Cucher. Their interdisciplinary practice has included digital photography and animation, video, textiles, screen-printing and sculpture. They emerged in the early 1990s and are regarded as pioneers in post-photography and the then-nascent use of digital imaging in fine art. The duo's earlier photography and sculptures centered on socio-anthropological themes, such as dehumanization, communication breakdown and notions of utopia or dystopia in relation to advancing technology. In later installations and exhibitions, they have taken a more political approach, examining issues such as war, inequality and the effects of globalization.
