Roles in Archive: Artist, Speaker
Pauline Boudry is working as an artist and a musician. With her band Rhythm King and her Friends she intensively toured and produced several records. As an artist she collaborates with Renate Lorenz in film, video and installation. Their works often revisit practices and materials from the past, usually photographs or films, referring to and excavating forgotten moments of queerness in history. Their works show bodies which are not only able to cross different times, but also to draw relations between different times, thus revealing possibilities for a queer futurity. Understanding that the past has a formative but also performative nature, this method underlines that “rather than being static and fixed, the past does things.” (José Esteban Muñoz)
