Melancholy and Gender – The Melancholy of the Body
In the present exhibition, an attempt is made to research the vague boundaries of gender, as it is structured socially (gender) and biologically (sex).
We shall explore gender identity as a product of social interaction and therefore how gender and self-construction – self-perception – can lead to social distancing.
Within this context we are juxtaposing the Freudian theory of mourning and melancholia with the “Gender Melancholia”, aiming at tracking the differences and the connections between the two.
