Jonathan's Eye Project

My ass is Outta this world

Introduction

This is a study of how relationships, represented by parts of the body, transform and restructure the context of the social and language. It is a work that started out as a question about whether the butt has the political potential to re-bind us together in a time of confusion with big and small wars. It is a work expressing the subjective and liberating potential of the anus, from the utopia represented in the Chinese story The Peach Blossom Spring to Paul B. Preciado's book Terror Anal, about the anus as a post-gendered organ.

I will study the symbolic meaning of queer and feminism that anal has, which is a democratic symbol representing all regardless of sex and gender, the sexual communist symbol of the public joy that we all experienced, the symbol of the liquidity of power from behind and from below and the various symbolic meanings of the anus.
