Nothing is really Queered
Do not be surprised, nothing anymore seems neither strange nor unexpected.
Everything is possible. Do we have a say on the changes that occur behind closed doors? Bright light blurs vision. In the dark, gray becomes the predominant reality. No Authority is completely distinct. Everything is in an intermediate state, in development and progress. As margins disappear, space becomes infinite. The intention of the artist is not to define the space, that would be impossible. In translating an ambiguous reality into a more tangible concept, he/she takes on the role of the scapegoat. The paradox becomes an everyday reality that encloses us within, as an integral part of it.
Each Door that we open to a new room, every window that closes, leads us to the discovery of a new world. Do not be surprised, nothing anymore seems neither strange nor unexpected.
