LATRINALIA 66.6

DIGITAL PRINTS ON PAPER
DIMENSIONS VARIABLE

A SERIES OF NEOCOLONIALIST BATHROOM COLLAGES .

THE CONCEPT BEGIN AS I PONDER ON A QUESTION : CAN ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS AND QUEERNESS RESPECTFULLY SHARE A PUBLIC PLANE OF EXISTENCE ? IF SO , HOW DO THEY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER ?

THESE PONDERINGS TAKE SHAPE IN A SERIES OF PROTOTYPE IMAGES SITTING IN A COLLAGE OF ELEMENTS FROM MY MOODBOARD

FUTURE ITERATIONS OF THIS SERIES ARE FOR THESE ‘PROTOTYPES’ TO EVOLVE INTO A PROCESSION OF GLASS AND CERAMIC VASES / HANGING GARDEN ORNAMENTS .

NOW SHOWING AT

FEEL GOOD LAB , @icadartura ICAD - INDONESIAN CONTEMPORARY ART AND DESIGN

1. I USED TO THINK , WHEN PPL DIE , ALL THEIR PHOTOS BECOME NEGATIVES .

I USED TO THINK THATS HOW WE COULD SEE DEAD PEOPLE , THRU THE NEGATIVES OF PHOTOGRAPHS

I ALSO USED TO RELIGIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT TO B3COME PRIME MINISTER , ONE NEEDED TO CAPTURE A FLY WITH ONES BARE HANDS .

I FULLY BELIEVED MAHATHIR COUGHT A FLY WITH HIS BARE HANDS SO WE MADE HIM PRIME MINISTER THE 1ST TIME

THE FLIES NEEDED TO BE UNHARMED .

2. SOME FAKFES TOLD ME , IN MY YEARNING FOR YOU , I AM CARVING OUT TH3 SPACE BETWEEN US ,
MAKING WHOLE THE NOTHINGNESS I WISH TO FILL

MY YEARNING FOR YOU IS SO SAYANG IT MADE ART .
IT MAKES A SCULPTURE , IT MAKES MY INNARDS COLLAPSE , COMBUST AND TAKE THE FORM OF A PREGNANT WOMAN PERCHED ON A TREE , AWAITING THE SMELL OF YOUR NECK

IT MAKES A SCULPTURE

TO HOLD ITS SHAPE , I DENY MY BODY THE CHEMICAL REVOLUTION BENEATH MY SKIN

I HOLD ITS SHAPE .

3. NIECY SAID THE GREAT THING ABOUT BLEACH IS THAT IT EXPLODES PARTICLES .

SHE SAID IT BREAKS THEIR FORM CAUSING THEM TO NO LONGER HOLD ONTO THEIR PIGMENT .

LEYSHA SAID SHE FELT HER PARTICLES EXPLODE WHILST GIVING BIRTH

NIECY SAID SHE FELT THE EARTH OPEN UP BENEATH HER WHILST GIVING BIRTH

YOU ARE LIKE BLEACH SAYANG , YOU EXPLODE MY PARTICLES AND DRINK MY COLOUR

நிலையாப் பொருளை யுடலாக் கருதி

நெடுநாட் பொழுது மவமேபோய்

நிறைபோய்ச் செவிடு குருடாய்ப் பிணிகள்

நிறைவாய்ப் பொறிகள் தடுமாறி

மலம்நீர்ச் சயன மிசையாப் பெருகி

மடிவேற் குரிய நெறியாக

மறைபோற் றரிய வொளியாய்ப் பரவு

மலர்தாட் கமல மருள்வாயே

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN O B S E S S E D WITH @MEHRGARHMANIMEGALAI RECITING ARUNAGIRINATHAR'S NILAYAR PORULAI

1. BECAUSE JIT YANG SAID MOARRRRRRRR
2. I GO TO THE TEMPLE , PRAY TO A TRANSGENDER GOD , THEN GO TO MY RELATIVES HOUSE AND BE SHAMED FOR SHOWING AND HAVING TRANS TRAITS IN MY PERSONHOOD WHILE THEY WORSHIP THE VERY SAME TRANS GODS AT HOME
3. BEING A TAMOUL TRANS GIRLIE TODAY IS LIKE BEING A GOD. NOT IN A SEXY POWERFUL WAY. IN A PECULIAR WAY THAT GODS CANNOT EXIST AROUND PEOPLE ( STARING DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN TYPE SHII) WORSHIPPING SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN THEY WANT TO LIVE NEAR IT OR BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT . I UNDERSTOOD THIS DEEPLY AS A CHILD . EXTRA INSANE BECAUSE WE ARE NAMED AFTER THOSE VERY TRANS GODS .
4. I HAVE A TROUBLING OBSESSION WITH THESE PUBLIC BUTTPLUGGS . THEY REMIND ME OF THE SEMI PERMEABLE QUALITY OF OUR CELL STRUCTURES
5. *CENSORED
6. ALL MY GODS ARE BLACK SAYANG , I CAN SEE YOU HUMPING MY LEG IN YOUR HEAD SAYANG by @warwhorelian

"WHY RED AND PINK ?"

I AM O B S E S S 3 D WITH THESE COLOURS .

IT STARTED WITH IMAGES OF MY BODY
I WANTED TO SEE MY BODY IN ANOTHER COLOUR ,
I WANTED TO SEE MY BODY IN HUES OF PINK AND LILAC

MY BRAIN IS O B S E S S S E D WITH MAKING SIGNS OUT OF A CONSTANT PLETHORA OF PATTERNS / MASS STIMULI IT CAN'T IGNORE / FILTER OUT

SOMETIMES ITS HELLA SEXY ,

SEEING THE IMAGES IN A RED + PINK NEGATIVE MUTES CERTAIN NOISES / FOCUSES THAT I'M USED TO CENTERING

AND EVOKES THIS KIND OF IMAGE WITH A HYPERSATURATED SALIENCE AND NEW FOCUSES , NEW PATTERNS , NEW SIGNS , NEW SHAPES taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand by @warwhorelian

PAPPA TOOK THESE PHOTOGRAPHS

I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF PAPPAS SKIN ,

IT WAS ALWAYS A LITTLE COLDER THAN MINE OR MMAS

IT HAD THE EXACT SAME SWEAT PATTERNS THAT I HAVE

IT WAS FULL OF GORGEOUS HAIR , GORGEOUSLY CURLY FUR

I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF HUGGING HIM

I THINK OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS PAPPA TOOK OF HIS 'SITES'

AS MY EARLY EDUCATION TO PHOTOGRAPHY

HE STARTED OUT AS A FIELD TECHNICIAN WITH PBAPP ( THE WATERWORKS CO IN PENANG )

AND WORKED HIS WAY UP

SO VERY OFTEN HE'D HAVE TO GO TO THE SITE OR LATER SUPERVISE HIS MEN ON SITE

I HAD A STASH AT THE BACK OF OUR HOUSE ON THIS GIANT METAL MAKE SHIFT RACK

WHERE I HID SOME OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS

I WAS O B S E S S E D WITH TIN BOXES

I HAD ONE UNDER MY BED TOO WITH A FLASH LIGHT AND TRINKETS AND A FEW MCD HAPPY MEAL BEARS , IT WAS MY L8 NIGHT ADVENTURE / SPY GIRL KIT

AND THE ONE AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE WAS MY BURN THINGS EXPERIMENT TIN

I WOULD BURN DIFFERENT MATERIALS TO SEE HOW THEY DISSAPEARED

I LOVED TO BURN HAIR , I LIKED THE SMELL

AND PLASTIC BOTTLES OR PLASTIC BAGS , I LIKE THE WAY THEY REDUCED AND MELTED , LIKE A DANCE

MY FAVOURATE THING TO BURN WAS COTTON

THERE WERE A FEW REALLY TALL SEXY COTTON TREES IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE , BEHIND OUR NEEM TREE

RAW COTTON BURNS LIKE MAGIC

THE FIBRES MAKE THEM BURN REALLY FAST AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN EXPLOSION

THEY ALSO EXPLODE WHEN RIPE TO SPREAD THEIR SEEDS

THATS ACTUALLY HOW I LEARNED I LIKE THE SMELL OF HAIR BURNING

I BURNT OFF SOME OF MY HAIR ONE TIME I PUT TOO MUCH COTTON TO BURN AND KEPT LOOKING FOR THE SMELL AFTER

I THINK MY OBSESSION WITH BURNING THINGS STARTED AT YAAGAAS , AND WATCHING PAPPA AND HIS FRIENDS AND PRIESTS BURN HONEY AND SILK SAREES AND SANDAL WOOD AND TWIGGS AND FRUITS AND COINS AS OFFERINGS TO THE GODS

WE WOULD SOMETIMES KEEP THE BURNT COINS AS BLESSINGS / PROTECTION

I BURNT THE PHOTOGRAPHS BECAUSE , WELL THEY WERE MANY , LIKE THOUSANDS OF THEM AROUND THE HOUSE AND IN BOXES

AND I LOVED WATCHING THE IMAGES DISSAPEAR

ALSO I FELT LIKE PAPPA WOULDN 'T KNOW/ MIND IF SOME OF THEM WENT MISSING

HE ALSO HAD A LOT OF BLUEPRINTS OF PIPES LIKE MAPS BUT FOR THE MOVEMENT OF WATER THROUGH GIANT PIPES ON THE ISLAND
