Drawing on Queer Theory, José Estaban Muñoz discusses the queering of space through alternative forms of declarations, such as the queering of space rendered through gay public sex acts (cruising). He investigates ideas about the then and now, the past and present of where Queerness lives.
These ideas are further developed in a video essay that explores cruising spaces, public parks and toilets, through the lens of the then and now. The 'then' being the organic erotic nature within past perspectives, the 'now' being the digital expansion of sexual desires through the present. The placement and use of blueprints becomes consistent, posing questions of where Queerness lies and what the future holds for Queers.
Andrew, an artist and researcher, thrives through expansive research focusing closely on Queer Theory. Their practice expands understandings and continuously longs to question ideas. They work predominantly with video and sculpture, using post lens cultures to further expand definitions and ways of thinking.
