Rejected bodies (2017-2018)

 

Rejected bodies is the title of the a series of illustrations and an essay, as an attempt to break out of the bubble of identity politics and investigate the fragments of micropolitics, in order to connect the dots and trace the mismatches between the desire and the commodification of sexuality and pleasure within the Modern queer culture, a process which has been forged and enabled by capitalist structures. This series of illustrations based on real images of either friends or people who I met or spoke to on dating apps, stands as a reflection on the mechanism of desire in our contemporary digital culture.
