The show explores hybrid storytelling methods—blending personal narratives, speculative fiction, and poetic reinterpretations—to expand how marginalized perspectives reimagine the intersections of queerness and architecture in profound and evocative ways. By merging lived experiences with speculative futures, these approaches construct multidimensional narratives that challenge normative frameworks. Through embodied storytelling and imaginative reconfigurations of familiar forms, spaces, and images—as well as through body modification and totemization—they reveal how queer individuals reshape the built world, envisioning spaces of inclusion, fluidity, and resistance.

The ‘architectural approach’ of the artists presented in the show refers to finding ways to represent the body (or its absence) through familiar—mostly domestic—objects. It manifests in a table leg, a barricade of chairs adorned with traces of human existence, such as chewed gum stains, a window bar suspended from a ‘queer abstract’ structure with obvious Catholic references, or a crucifix held by members of the Spanish Legion. This approach extends through performance and dance, where movements—whether precisely staged or completely improvised—create a sense of a much larger presence: a sculpture, a totem, an object of devotion. The artists’ works convey a distinctly architectural sensibility as they explore and construct their identities, shaping themselves into unique creatures from an outer world. Their individuality emerges through various body modifications and physical and digital ‘mutations.’
