Material Intimacy (2026)




Material Intimacy decodes the neoliberal fetishization of products and their symbolic value as status, explores subcultural practices of collective dissense and dissociation and reintroduces the emotionality, sensitivity and resilience of deviant bodies. Queer bodies merge with dystopian landscapes and get lost in a world of negativity avoiding classification and control through the hegemonic gaze, navigating narratives between isolation, connection, relationships and dissocial sociality
