Andrey Bogush & Juan Pablo Cámara: Homopticum
Kiasma Theatre, Helsinki, Finland
Premiered 2025
The collaboration between the visual artist and the choreographer is inspired by Paul B. Preciado’s essay “Pornotopia,” which examines popular culture and architecture as producers of pornographic technologies.
Borrowing from the vocabulary of peep shows, dark rooms and matchmaking apps, choreographer Juan Pablo Cámara and visual artist Andrey Bogush devise the Homopticum, a speculative choreography where discipline and repetition meet the monstrous, yielding control, surrender, and the potential for liberation. In a dystopian take on time and self-surveillance, across the mundane and spectacular, they examine the materiality of subjectivity and the art of fabulation, questioning homosexual masculinity within the object-human relation.
The performance is part of the programme for Kiasma’s Collection Exhibition Rock, paper, scissors.
