Signe Pierce is an American artist. She has worked in performance, photography, video and digital art. Her work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, at the New Museum, New York, and at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.[1]

Pierce has a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.[2]

In 2013 she performed in a short film, American Reflexxx, shot by her girlfriend Alli Coates.[3] It shows Pierce, in a short dress and a mirror-finish mask, moving through the streets of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where she is derided and then attacked.[4][5][6] It was shown at "Bushwick Gone Basel", an event in a bar in Miami Beach during Art Basel Miami in 2013,[7] and at the BHFQU Brucennial in 2014.[8] It has been watched more than 1.5 million times on YouTube.[9]

Rhizome called it "a brave work that construes many related topics within current cyberfeminist discourses",[10] while Art F City said it was "terrifying, surreal—and true."[11]
