Digital Cruising

This research project explores queer cruising sites of medieval Venice and their politics during a residency at the 2017 Venice Art Bienalle. Sites were identified and digitally copied through photogrammetric software and duplicated inside 3D crystal volumes. Both an enquiry into heritigisation and narrative, the digital duplicates offer blank architectural scenes for a re-telling of Venice’s history of queer margilinastion, despite its image as a historically libertarian paradise.

This work was supported by British Council and exhibited in London at RAW Labs.
