The Modern Horror Project culminates as a documented ‘artist lecture’ that I performed in drag (as my mother). I looked closely at the writing of Sylvia Wynter and Jean-Francois Lyotard who both, in different ways, put forward a critique of modernity, and recast the revolutionary movement of the 1960’s. By surrounding the ever-shifting boundaries and definitions of "the human," the project asks how and for whom freedom was formulated, what language governs its structure, and what it could mean today. In conjunction with my interdisciplinary project Look Upon Your Work Mother, I hold personal loss against political recalcitrance to real and overly burdensome capitalist, neoliberal, and modern enclosures.
