Photography by ANDREW OVERTOOM

id: The part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest.
ID: How one identifies.

The id collection features a selection of Andrew Overtoom’s photographs of Los Angeles drag artists and female impersonators. Overtoom's sensitive and insightful portraits document a fascinating cross section of this remarkable community.

Andrew Overtoom is a filmmaker and photographer working in Los Angeles. He specializes in medium and large format portraiture and analog/digital hybrid darkroom techniques. Overtoom also authors the Undead Neg blog.

When he's not in the darkroom or his Echo Park studio, Andrew works as an animation director, screenwriter and cinematographer, best known for his work on the animated television series Family Guy, Phineas & Ferb, and SpongeBob SquarePants, for which he was nominated for Emmy Awards in 2004, 2007 and 2011. Overtoom wrote, directed and photographed the award-winning feature film My Life with Morrissey in 2003, followed by the documentary Real Life with Morrissey in 2004.

COMING NEXT TO THE ADVOCATE & GOCHIS GALLERIES!

WE ARE TONGZHI!

 OPENS JUNE 6
 FREE RECEPTION: THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 7-9 p.m.

Tongzhi is Mandarin for “comrade” or “same.”
But it’s also the colloquial way of saying “queer.”

In this case, Tongzhi bridges three worlds: artworks by homeless LGBT youth in China, artworks by homeless LGBT youth in our own Youth Center on Highland Ave., and photographs taken at the first ever China AIDS Walk—on the Great Wall! (The China AIDS Walk was founded by a graduate of the Center’s Chinese Emerging Leaders program.)

Though more than 6000 miles separate them, LGBT homeless youth in China and the USA share many of the same daily struggles. These hopeful and powerful pieces will inspire, delight and remind you that queer spirit knows no boundaries!

Come join us at an exciting reception on June 20 with our current group of interns from China and learn more about our Emerging Leaders program.
