Annie Sprinkle

Annie Sprinkle (born Ellen Steinberg) is an American artist, activist, and filmmaker whose work spans photography, performance art, and film, exploring themes of sexuality, feminism, ecology, and the body. A pioneering figure in post-porn modernism and ecosex art, she transitioned from sex worker to artist and academic, collaborating extensively with her partner Beth Stephens on 'ecosexual' performance and media works. Her interdisciplinary practice challenges conventional boundaries between art, activism, pornography, and ecology, making her a significant and transgressive voice in contemporary feminist and queer art.
