Philisha Kay’s artistic practice is invested in (de-)constructing subjectivity in its articulation as sexed embodiment and gendered identity. Her writing and performances playfully engage with language, including body language, to create counter-strategies for selfing; formulations that reframe market society’s prescription to self-determination. By mending materialities and recoding meanings, she falls things into different places, pointing towards the indefinite direction of signification. Taking seriously the body as a site of fantasy, she experiments with the malleability of the self as flesh and psyche. Through psychoanalytic frameworks, (trans)feminist theories and experiential knowledge, she applies readings on research objects (e.g. pop-cultural phenomena, internet trends, digital technologies) to generate subjectivities that recover agency and pleasure in coming to terms with the affectual, perceptual and imaginative energies and desires flowing between objects and bodies. These expressions of inversion, disruption and contradiction maintain an ambiguous relationship with mastery, proposing a version of selfhood that is constantly (be)coming rather than already being. Philisha lives in Berlin and is a proud member of dgtl fmnsm, a queer feminist collective working at the intersections of digital media, performative technologies, and political activism.
