Juan Antonio Suárez, a specialist in experimental cinema and the study of queer cultures, elucidates the notion of corporeality and its effect on sexuality as derived from Sade.

Sade’s work, and the representations drawn from it, deal with the body as a malleable, multiform shape, widely connected to other bodies; it is characterized by a staged machinery that turns sexuality into a theater under wraps, in never-ending textual flux. In this exhibition, Sade’s bodies are dispersed, liquid entities.

Seen in a different light, however, these bodies can be liquified, subjugated, and annihilated. This exhibition oscillates between these two conceptions, elucidating through them the sexual politics that might be attributed to Sade in the present day.

The event will be held in Spanish.
