Intro｜簡介
The theoretical framework of this exhibition lies in the psychoanalysis and social construction of sexuality. The exhibition’s Chinese title — which translates to “turning your back to the sun” — not only evokes the clandestine nature of queer eroticism, but is further linked to concepts of the phallus and phallocentrism in psychoanalytic theory. Conceptualized as a cognitive process, de(phallocentrism) is an attempt to explore states of queer desire, and how such desires can escape or bypass the dominant, masculine-centric order and re-establish a narrative of fluidity and heterogeneity. This exhibition contemplates, challenges, and deconstructs the erotic qualities denoted by symbolic order, ultimately presenting a multifaceted view of queer eroticism.

「背陽」一展的理論基礎，立基於精神分析和（性慾特質的）社會建構論之上。展名「背陽」除了可由字面上「背對太陽」的意義解讀，指涉同志情慾的隱匿狀態，另也連結至精神分析理論中以「陽具」（phallus）以及陽性中心主義（phallocentrism）做為象徵意義的內涵。「背陽」作為動詞，即是試圖探索同性或酷兒的情慾狀態——這些迥異於異性戀的慾望，是如何逃逸或繞過以陽性中心主義為主的秩序，重新建立起具流動性與異質性的敘事？展覽藉由創作思索象徵秩序所建構的情慾特質，以及藉此展現同志或酷兒情慾的多元面貌。
