Audrelisque

Video, 2016.
5 minute loop. 

 “Once having experienced the fullness of this depth of feeling, and recognised its power, in honour and self respect we can require no less of ourselves.”


A frustrated, self-objectifying young man channels the voice of lesbian poet and activist Audre Lorde, speaking about the boundless potential of The Erotic.



Audrelisque features a performance by Burr Johnson. The video premièred at a FIST (Fags in Sweden Together) event in 2016. Johan Sundell translated Lorde’s text into Swedish for the event.
