About the book >.>.> From the Corner of the Eye is a comprehensive examination of contemporary art through the lens of evolving views on identity, particularly regarding sexual orientation and gender. Inspired by the work of New York photographer Nan Goldin, this survey connects notions of homosexual identity with critical discussions fostered by poststructuralist queer theory. The book highlights how traditional binary constructs of heterosexuality and homosexuality are being re-evaluated in favour of acknowledging a spectrum of identities that reflect social diversity, encompassing factors such as ethnicity, age, class, and lifestyle.M Nieuwenhuyzen articulates the journey of contemporary homosexual culture, which thrives on the idea of 'difference' and embraces a multiplicity of identities rather than adhering to a singular definition. The 'queer' perspective is introduced as a post-identity concept that challenges existing cultural narratives, advocating for a celebration of varied voices and hybrid identities. This discourse is further explored through texts by Lukas Duwenhdégger and Collier Schorr, who engage with the interplay between queer post-identity strategies and traditional approaches to sexual identity in art. Their contributions provoke thought on the implications of labelling sexualities and the use of sexual politics as a foundation for artistic expression.As the author delves into the art scene of the 1990s, it becomes evident that a significant body of work?regardless of the artists' alignments?addresses themes of difference and the fluidity of gender and sexuality. The book seeks to fill a gap in exhibitions that approach these topics, presenting a curated selection of fourteen artworks that challenge and stimulate conversation around identity, desire, and lifestyle in contemporary art.
