Darby Routtenberg's work navigates through critical themes such as representation, the intersectionality of identity, and the critique of societal norms. By employing popular culture as both a medium and a subject, their work unravels threads of gender, sexuality, and the body. Their interventionist art challenges the viewer to confront their preconceptions, fostering a space for dialogue and reflection on the dynamics of power, visibility, and offers a potent critique of our times wrapped in the familiar guise of popular culture.
