Abstract

‘Fulgora’ sets aside identity politics to think through the production of gender and sexuality through a medium-based approach. It considers how gender and sexuality are communicated through the formal resonances and materiality of film and video. As a video artist and curator my practice critiques established ways of looking and classificatory logics. I understand gender as constituted in relationality and through shifting social worlds. This article outlines my latest curatorial project in which I critically embrace the figure of the (a species of winged insect) to generate idiosyncratic taxonomies that disrupt the presumed epistemological and ontological foundations of gender and sexuality.
