The photo exhibit “My Darling” – Fucking the gaze through cryptoform intimate portraits – is a puzzle built out of bodies in action and in love. We invited the camera in an artistic threesome for trysts into our daily connection, which gave us a taste of each other’s ‘outside’ perspective from within our intimate space. We are reflected and refracted onto and inside of each other, just as we all are, seeing ourselves through the reflection of those we keep close.

We tangled the relationship between model and artist into a collaboration. The technical part of the project was important as the digital camera made it possible for us to have greater room for experimentation with less waste and also presented a big learning opportunity. As a result, we offer a series of layered and abstracted figurative photographic self-/portraits of the blurry wet and permeable spaces we share. Through Trompe-l’œil, artifacts and double-takes, we fray the lines in art, identity, sex and love.We present you a broken mirror of formulas about gender and sex and a handfull of intimate questions, some of the ones we ask each other. We enjoy refracting the gaze, expectations and identities, and invite you to have a look.
Start Time: 20:30

Take the Queer Fertility Survey!
Each survey takes 5-10 minutes, and is an interactive input part of the Biological Clock project, inspired by the kinds of questions I’ve been asked or asked myself since the beginning of the project around time and fertility, my desire to get some anecdotal data, and an atmospheric sense of some of the current general feelings around issues of time and queer fertility, especially from people who identify as queer.

I think taking surveys is fun, I’m interested in using surveying as an artistic media to gather impressions from the wider world and to also inspire further thought and conversation around topics I’m curious about. I also think that it is an inherently biased tool, and as an artist I’m interested in acknowledging and working with the bias, grasping a momentary impression or conceptual trend in a likely insular population, as opposed to fighting it in the interest of objectivity.

This is also a way of working through the barrage of questions and interrogations around my means, intentions, abilities, motivations etc. that I am frequently subjected to when I let people know that I (a queer, single, sex-working, low-income, weirdo, artist) want to have a baby.
I ‘d love to hear your responses! Much thanks to my wifey Irene who co-developed the survey with me.

I just added the photos and a description from this fall’s birthday performance, 32 actions: Teaching Myself to Love to the Performance page. Since the piece was in November and the page is arranged chronologically, you may have to scroll down a bit to find it. Enjoy!
