Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS/SITE Archives:

Corporeal Consumption is an exhibition exploring the materiality and visibility of the queer
body within institutional and heteronormative spaces. Through stretched latex surfaces
and projected imagery, the exhibition interrogates how queer bodies are consumed,
regulated, and rendered both hypervisible and absent.
Inspired by the Uncanny and rooted in a self-defined practice of queer material language,
this work uses latex as a “second skin” to question where the body ends and the artwork
begins. Nationalist iconography is appropriated and queered, offering a subversive
response to the sanitized aesthetics of institutional display. The minimalist environment
mimics the “white box” while exposing its hidden violences.
