Sextopia

Sextopia explores notions of self – identity, sexuality, body and pleasure. It is an intangible, fantastical world that resides purely in the space between oneself and world, a liminal space that can never truly be reached.

The proposal was born of the hierarchies of identities found on Goat Island, between colonial and indigenous voice, as well as contemporary consumerist society. Sexuality is postulated as a social construct built as a means of power, whilst built environment and media space have been suggested to further legitimise these social hierarchies. Sextopia has been influenced by various readings primarily a sexual reading of Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland, and José Esteban Muñoz’s notion of ‘queerness’, that is, ‘about the rejection of a here and now, and insistence on potentiality for another world' (2009).
