faggots are complex beings
The miniature clothes were found during a walk; reproducing them on my own scale was an obvious choice: to bring a certain childlike magic back to adulthood, through soft, colorful, shiny fabrics; to stage a recurring moment in lives lived within the spectrum of gender non-conformity, when the passage to adulthood is also a passage to heteronormativity. The suspicion that emerges around certain attitudes, attractions to certain colors or textures modulates a specific experience of shame.
This installation asks: what did you have to leave behind when you grew up? Could it come back to you?
