"What does transparency keep obscure?"
-Judith Butler, in the 1999 preface to "Gender Trouble" (1990)
This project examines straight photography and its privileged position as a presumably normative and transparent medium. The work imagines what could happen when a seemingly matter-of-fact methodology of image-making attempts to represent subjects that actively try to evade being seen in objective terms. It asks a question: what might a queer straight photograph look like?
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
