About this event
The iconography of horror, dark romanticism and subcultural aesthetics form the bedrock of Cursed and Crossed. A meeting of multiple identities, defying convention, amplified rather than concealed. A figure of excess, too much, of outburst, in this work the monster is freed from its metaphorical role to be revealed as a physical state. And so, becomes “a queer technology: a way of transforming shame into force, melancholy into volume, solitude into shared intensity”, as Charly Ange Fogaroli explains. Full of tensions and diffractions, silences and detonations, a landscape is outlined, unstable and fascinating, a tableau vivant in chiaroscuro form, marked by impalpable boundaries, inhabited by five hybrid presences, so many singular relations with figures of horror, united in a community of rebellion.
