“By looking at forgotten or disavowed queer moments, affects, acts, or lefto-vers, we not only want to (re)consider them as political interventions, but also try to re create the past in order to articulate a contemporary desire,” explain the artists Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, who have been working together in Berlin since 2007.
“Our works often revisit materials from the past – a score, a piece of music, a film, a photograph or a performance – wondering about and excavating unrepresented or illegible moments,” they continue. “We work with performance to create embodiments, which are able to conflate different times, drawing relations between these times” – a pro cess they refer to as “temporal drag”.
