Taking queer practices & theories as a point of departure, Queering the Exhibition suggested both a conceptually and formally polyphonous environment of 12 video artworks by several artists. Against naturalized, binary subject constructions this group show puts ambiguity, fluidity and layering at the forefront to enhance multiple levels of subjectivity.

With an experimental display setting (four projectors were movable and had to be adjusted to watch the projection fully), the exhibition invited the audience to perpetually reconfigure the offered narratives and triggered discussions, what to watch at what time.
