Seen-unseen

How well can you see, if things are hidden? Can you read them, if they're coded? 


Throughout the centuries, a clear image of the queer culture or characters was frowned upon, undesired, or strictly forbidden. Some people, however, simply didn't care. 


The “Seen-unseen" is an image-based project, in which I worked on unveiling the clever, creative and – most often – beautiful ways of showing the queer culture and history. The story has been divided in several categories: 

  • Pre-20th century: various media
  • 20th century:
    • Illustrations
    • Painting
    • Film
    • Animation
    • Photography
  • Non-western examples: various media
