Metamorphosis is a tub of bubble-gum ice cream in a bathhouse full of bears.
Subtle shifts in perspective are more shocking than pink champagne. Disruptions to normative expectations are so provocative they topple governments and throw queer youth from their homes. Yet, significant swings in technology and culture can be a hangnail in history, a temporary mild annoyance within ubiquitous change. When we acknowledge that all beings are in a constant state of becoming, this liminality compounds. This research looks not at the object of desire, but the agitated space occupied by the object's ontological presence, the nervous place created by presence. Queerness lives here, veiled in architectural negative space. When queering is the methodology, we aggravate phenomenology -experience and event flirt- Imagine overthrowing a government with a bottle of pink champagne.
Actors are prime examples of beings moving, changing, perpetually becoming. Actors are events; they captivate their audience with moments of bliss, occasions of joy, heartache, and fear. They are limiters of tension, architects of emotion, moving back and forth between spatial realities, dwelling in an ever-constant flux. They are our encounter with pink champagne. Objects are actors; queer is here too.
