Bella Butler (b. 2002) is a multi-media performance artist, photographer, and writer from Brooklyn, NY. She received her BA from Princeton University in May, 2025 where she studied Media Studies and Aesthetic Theory in the German Department.

Bella grapples with the idea of female subjectivity in her work, exploring what it means to be both a living subject as well as a subject in art. She is particularly interested in the formation of the female subject in time-based mediums where a camera lens and GAZE are present. Her work is influenced by film and media theory and thus she utilizes it in her performance practice as well as her more traditional photography practice. Documentation, archive, and the human form are integral to every body of work she develops.

She is currently working for David Zwirner in New York City as a Gallery Assistant while practicing art independently. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
