MAHALIA TAJE GIOTTO | CH/IT
Existential B***r

Existential b***r is a personal work exploring obsessions related to the body, identity, and sexuality. Published as a book by SPBH and ECAL in July 2023, it also exists as an installation. Taje is a trans person identifying as non-binary, they began gender-affirming hormone therapy in November 2020, marking the start of an intense process of self-documentation. Every transformation was closely monitored, driven by an urge to reclaim their body and sense of self.

Photography became the most immediate tool to record these changes, following the relentless rhythm of their obsessive thoughts. For this exhibition at Fotofestival Lenzburg, the artist collaborated with curator Bec Fusconi to develop a new, more radical installation. The work addresses fragmentation as both a personal and political condition, echoing David Wojnarowicz’s engagement with visibility, rage, and survival.
