Description

Book Synopsis
The attraction of a wink, a nod, a discarded snapshot - such feelings permeate our lives, yet we usually dismiss them as insubstantial. Jean Paul Ricco argues through the medium of modern art that it is precisely such fleeting experiences that will create a queer aesthetic, and notion of ethics.

Trade Review
"This original and frequently dazzling work explores sites that might be defined as queer spaces, and in which we might think of a queer architecture being located. What results is an extremely fascinating effort to redefine notions of architectural space and identity, and to reimagine the spatial dimensions of subjectivity itself." - Leo Bersani, author of Homos
