Description

'A body is a body' centres around a written text combining personal memories of a queer sexual experience with Catholic prayers and eschatological imagery. The text appears in the form of subtitles over a 3D-modelled animation, which features a mixture of iconographic and iconoclastic imagery associated with Catholicism. Through this work, we explore the historically fraught relationship between queerness and the Catholic church.
