We present our upcoming project, Wormgod: ZOMBIES at the Malmö Queer Art & Film Festival, September 19 at Panora. Through various means of expression (academic text, art exhibition, graphic novel), we are planning to explore the zombie phenomenon.
Where does the zombie collective end up in the societal hierarhies? How can zombification act as a means in the class struggle? What happens with sex/gender when the body dies, if it can still walk and perform actions? Maybe the zombie is an extreme form of drag, as it erases the line between living and dead, at the same time as it makes it very clear that gender roles are nothing but empty shells.
What happens when we have to face the zombie as an undead reflection of ourselves?

We also pose the question if there can be an extended space for subversive and alternative representations within a marginalised genre, in part referring to Bruce LaBruce's film Otto or Up With Dead People. How can categories and power structures be made visible and perhaps be dissolved by working within this genre? A genre that for a long time has been viewed as nothing but an area for B-movies but now has been resurrected...

Land of the Dead - En studie av hur makten kan förskjutas i samspel med kategorier (swedish only: Susanne Johansson's C-uppsats i Genusvetenskap)

The conclusion to the konSEKVENS/VÅLD trilogy. We continue exploring the concept of the atom bomb and the event of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. An event that changed the way we view life on this planet by casting the shadow of extinction over all of us. We want to bring this shadow into the light in the exhibition space at Panora in Malmö.
August 22 - September 13.

Our second exhibition is a rerun and sequel to the first. VÅLD (Violence) expands on the theme of consequences and digs further into the single most violent event in the history of humanity.

This exhibition is presented at the release party for Mattias Elftorp's Piracy is Liberation 006: Violence, together with parts of his Violence exhibition during an evening of live harsh noise, power electronics and other violent music.

More information about the event/exhibition.

This, our first exhibition, is a sequential artwork about consequences. The image tells a story, perhaps many stories, about a crucial event in human history. Something that has affected our generation and our view on life in a very basic way. An event that brought death into the equation, on a scale that is bigger even than specieswide extincion.

konSEKVENS is also an experiment in linear/non-linear thinking. The images and their stories can be read like a comic strip, but it is up to their viewers to make the connection between different image elements and arrive at something that is not chronological. Something that is spread out through time: a multitude of events and their consequences.
