ABJECTION / EMBODIED DIFFERENCE

Marco connects abjection to what is perceived as other, impure, unstable, bodily, excessive, foreign, disabled or difficult to classify.

Abjection can operate through bodily fluids, sound, texture, mechanical movement and exposed vulnerability.

The aim is not simply to disgust. The work may cause spectators to ask why they are reacting. Its political potential partly lies in exposing structures behind fascination, repulsion, exclusion and normalisation.
