Irene Leftherioti draws on the aesthetics of popular and internet culture to express her personal experiences and emotions. She recognizes parts of herself in movies, TV series, video games, memes, phrases, and lyrics. More specifically, she explores gender identity and the gendered experience, sexuality, and contemporary socialization/community building.
Drawing on references to important films from the LGBTQ community and beyond, she explores themes of play and liberation, the irrelevance of gender, and even the lack of awareness of the concept of gender during preadolescence. By combining images from films and internet pop culture, she explores the experience of q***rness, as well as sexuality itself.
She hopes that, through her largely personal practice, she can create a space for identification, ultimately giving voice to more collective feelings and experiences.
