a body is a body is a body combines queerness and religion on a personal level, putting the subliminal tension between the two under the spotlight while treating it in a distant way, naturalising the interpenetrations between the two dimensions that are always understood as ricocheting off each other.
a body is a body is a body, whose title is like a mantra, or a bible verse, is a 3D animation that combines elements of Catholic and queer iconography. A sensorial discourse about desire and how it is integrated at an intrapersonal level through cultural-religious filters; about how the body feels in relation to its beliefs, about how desire can be both wet, like a flood, and dry, like a fire. a body is a body is a body permeates the membrane between religious and queer identity; the divine presence is omnipresent and desire is simultaneously performed without inhibition. (Emilian Lungu)
