Lines of Flight III (2020)

Self-portrait of Frank (2020)

Self-portrait of Aro Valtteri Mielonen (2020)

This is a soft and gentle rebellion. Illegibility can be a form of resistance, failure a superpower.

What is needed for queer visibility? I believe non-objectifying gaze is key. Readability should not be compulsory. Here I present three queer tactics that employ ambiguity and failure. They give space for self-determination and encourage vulnerability.

Non-binary Self-portraits

These are self-portraits of non-binary people. This was a collaborative practice where the models had control over their self-representation. The models made and chose these portraits for this series.

Needle in the Eye II (2020)

Eyes touching

I question my faith in exposure. Can images speak to other senses than sight? These photographs are experiments on haptic visuality. They explore the possibilities of incomplete visions as messengers of bodily sensations.
