_hey wan_ _o break free (2025)
“_hey wan_ _o break free” (2025) is currently exhibited as part of the group show “Eyes open, I breath again” at -> Alice Amati Gallery in London - curated by Samuele Visentin.
A vacuum cleaner with a bag full of glitter appears to have just collected the remnants of a party that took place last night at Dorothy’s house. This eccentric sculpture evokes the vacuum cleaner used by Freddie Mercury in drag in the Queen’s I Want to Break Free video, which became an icon of subverting expectations around gender identity. A playful monument to challenging gender stereotypes and rebelling against domestic labour, the vacuum cleaner, upon closer inspection, also suggests a darker reference. The colours of the glitter match the trans flag, and the cleaning it has undergone might allude to an attempt to erase the rights of the community. Glitter, a material often considered frivolous and linked to celebration and fun, transforms into a symbol of resistance and a reminder to stick together in the face of threats of our time.
