Steven Goossen earned a Bachelor of Science in Cinema/Communications and Philosophy from Eastern Michigan University, and later earned his Associates Degree in Photographic Technology. The cinema influence can been seen much of Steven’s work, of which moody themes of motion, transportation, and road photography make up a great portion. Steven’s cinematic side can also be seen in a solo ‘widow take over’ awarded to him in 2019 where transparencies of layered 16mm film shot by Steve in the mid 1990s was used to cover a recessed storefront, creating a surreal diorama of a macabre theatre within. The COLLISIONS series explores a combined method of compositing and glitch art to create surreal, painterly large scale images and was presented as solo exhibition at The Mayflower Art Center in Troy, OH, USA, Curated by Timothy Wells, MFA. Currently Steven is focusing much of his artistic attention to a project called The Electric Meditation, which visually utilizes much of the same elements in video as his surreal photography. Today Steven prefers to photograph in film using toy cameras and lenses.
