This Bedwork is an intimate take on Gonzalez-Torres’ renown photography of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas’ shared tombstone in Paris. Depicted as embraced by Ababri’s own arms and in vibrant colors, the drawing touches upon the romantic couple as an exchange of energy, a hierarchical structure and as a potential of material transmutation stretching beyond the grip of death, loss and grief to become a source of emancipation for queer communities in motion across time and space. The characteristic flattened perspective serves to collapse distances and spatial hierarchies to re-arrange values associated to figure and background.
