“Do you really believe that you are male or female, that we are homosexual or heterosexual, intersex or trans? Do these distinctions worry you? Do you trust them? [...] These are categories imposed by authority, not the territory of life.

I am the multiplicity of the cosmos trapped in a binary political and epistemological system” - Paul B Preciado, An Apartment on Uranus.
This programme of shorts explores how space, both earthly and fantastical, material and digital, becomes a site of queer exploration.
