Inspired by the photo-series of the exiled Nigerian gay photographer Rotimi Fani Kayode, I want to use ideas and images from his work titled Nothing to Lose. In my studio research I’m studying, experimenting and finally interpreting these images as a multimedia theatrical performance and exhibition, fusing together dance, video, installation and voice. Fani-Kayode’s studio photography is interesting to me because it explores issues such as race, sexuality, desire and in particular, identity. I will use this performance relationship between my body, food and liquid which flows out of these foods to explore questions which intersect race, sexuality and nature.
