Amy Jorgensen

Amy Jorgensen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Wyoming. Her work focuses on photography, performance, and the intersection of art with cultural and scientific inquiry. She teaches courses such as ART 2000 AFA Capstone: Professional Practices, ART 3510 Alternative Photography, and others.

Jorgensen’s research explores historical criminal photography, the body as an active participant in artistic processes, and the photographic medium’s role in documenting truth. Her practice incorporates performance and self-portraiture to interrogate personal and cultural assumptions about photography’s relationship to authenticity and scientific documentation. She describes her body as both an 'archive' and a site of experiential engagement with the world.
