Soundscape for an installation of Ugo Woatzi.
Music by Mélodie Blaison


"In this installation, Queerutopia, Ugo Woatzi refers to the possibilities of creating utopian spaces in response to oppressive patriarchal and heteronormative structures. The title also refers to the concept of Heterotopia carried by M. Foucault as somehow “other” spaces.

As a queer kid growing up in a rural area in the south of France, he had to follow certain codes and rules to become “a man”. They couldn’t embrace their identities freely and were afraid of being judged on their sexuality and gender. Dreaming of a free space to express themselves, they spent a lot of time in nature, near the river – which for them was magical – imagining their own world.

The visual material of Queerutopia was captured from different natural environments where they spent time as a kid. Digitally altered and constructed as a dreamlike pantheon, the images depict imaginary minds, bodies and creatures. Woatzi imagines this installation as a care tool and a spiritual process navigating between past present and future."
