Description
Experimental Film and Queer Materiality by Juan Antonio Suárez explores the intersection of queer identity and everyday objects in film. This book examines how artists have used materials such as plastics, glitter, and urban ruins to express queerness on screen. Through a rich archive of films by well-known and lesser-known filmmakers, Suárez reveals the ways in which queerness has been embedded in material culture. By combining history, formal analysis, and theoretical reflection, he shows how these artists have mobilized everyday materials to articulate queer experiences. This inquiry into the liveliness of matter offers a new perspective on experimental film and its relationship with queer identity.
