“Sacrament for a Pandemic” deconstructed TV screen with video documentation. 17" x 10" x 5", March 2021
Sacrament for a Pandemic is a performance piece based around a quote from Douglas Crimp in 1987: “it is our promiscuity that will save us.” In a refusal of respectability politics that sought to blame queer people for the HIV/AIDS pandemic, Crimp asserted that it was their intimate bonds made during sex which made collective organizing and radical care for one another possible. Repeating the quote, I ritually eat and drip a semen-like fluid over my body. The performance was staged on the erotic webcam site Chaturbate in December 2020, at the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Video documentation of the performance is presented on a deconstructed TV screen, foregrounding the material reality of digital sexual interactions.
