Janet Biggs lives and works in New York City. Her videos, video
installations, and performances, condensed yet epic, have led her to

in a lagoon. Her work has been exhibited at numerous institutions such
as the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca, New York; Everson
Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York; Gibbes Museum of Art, South Carolina;
Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Rhode Island; Cincinnati
