Levi van Gelder | Ötza, Ontologically Speaking

Levi van Gelder, alum of Design, presents Ötza, Ontologically Speaking at:

Mutter, Amsterdam, Ruyschstraat 295, Amsterdam
16 September–1 October
Fridays–Sundays, 16:00–20:00

Collaboratively developed by Levi van Gelder and Leila El Alaoui, this uncanny 5300 year old drag character propels herself into different universes and fandoms—from The L Word (2004) to The Hunger Games (2012)—in an attempt to rewrite her own story that has been (unfairly) extrapolated from scientific reconstructions. Fact and fiction blur, or even disintegrate, as Ötza playfully switches between her multiple cultural identities, lamenting her position in the world as cryodesiccated corpse, primeval Man, scientific subject, tourist spectacle, fanfiction writer, queer individual or struggling artist in contemporary Amsterdam.
