From The Throat

From The Throat (between teeth and tongue), 2022

Virtual reality, dimensions variable

From The Throat encapsulates the desire for an alternate, improved reality, and its immersive quality allows strong parallels to be drawn between the virtual and the physical. This environment reflects our present reality, and its virtual quality suggests patriarchy as an intrusive virtual filter dissolvable by queer text and speech. This text and speech is queer in that it is unrestricted in its expression, it is of the body, a messy and in- pieces body, non-binary in its form, form-less, body-less, shapeshifting and uncaptured. This hybridity rejects and destabilises the binary systems that maintain this intrusive structure, offering queerness as a clear threat to patriarchy, and proposing a new outlook via the queer horizon.
