Thora Siemsen (born July 29, 1990) is an American writer living in Colorado.[1] She is best known for her interviews with cultural figures, including writers, directors, artists, and musicians. Her work has been featured in Artforum, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker.[2] She has also gained attention as a muse and subject of photographer Nan Goldin.[1][3][4] Siemsen grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, but has lived in Colorado, Illinois, and New York.[5][2][6]
Work
In 2016, Siemsen moved to Brooklyn, New York, living in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, to continue working as a freelance writer, as well as a server and barista.[7] In 2019, she interviewed Nan Goldin about her final show at Marian Goodman, and the pair became close friends. In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Siemsen to temporarily move in to Goldin's Clinton Hill apartment, where she would serve as the subject for several photographic portraits by Goldin. Siemsen was again a photographic subject in "It's Personal," an art show at OCDChinatown featuring artists Sam Penn, Ser Serpas, and Nash Glynn.[8]
She has interviewed cultural figures such as Gregg Araki, SOPHIE, Anohni.[9][2][10] Her work has regularly appeared in Out, Lenny Letter, SSENSE and The Creative Independent.
She has also been involved with the Poetry Project.[11] Her voice was featured in two songs by SOPHIE, "New York's Burning Down" and "Love Me Off Earth".
Personal Life
Siemsen is transgender.[5][1] In 2022, she moved to Boulder, Colorado.[5]
