left-hand shoe on a hunch, and cream (2024)
Performance
Maison de l’Amérique Latine. Paris, France
As part of Mira Art Fair curated by Noelia Portela

This piece explores the excess and absurdity of royal life in Europe during the Renaissance and the Baroque period, particularly the extravagance of Absolutism. In the garden of the Maison de l’Amérique Latine, I embody a hybrid character—part monarch, part jester—whose idiosyncrasies structure a one-man show combining theatrical imagery with melodramatic intensity. Inspired by Anne, Queen of Great Britain, and Louis XIV, the performance highlights the paradox between splendor and vulnerability. left-hand shoe interrogates a past that continues to resonate today in imbalances of wealth and power, reimagined through a hyper-queer, contemporary language.
