Working title for PhD:听鈥淲e Are Born Into A Pre-Invented Existence鈥� 鈥� towards a psychoanalytic analysis of David Wojnarowicz鈥檚 late work (1987鈥�92)

My PhD project is an interrogation of the late work of David Wojnarowicz (1954鈥�92), focussing on three separate exhibitions from 1989: a solo exhibition at the P.P.O.W. gallery, 鈥業n the Shadow of Forward Motion鈥�; a group exhibition curated by Nan Goldin at Artists Space, 鈥榃itnesses: Against Our Vanishing'; and 鈥業TSOFOMO鈥�, a collaborative performance piece with Ben Neill, which debuted at the Kitchen. I am drawing primarily on psychoanalytic theory, particularly the work of Lacan and Freud, as well as a variety of queer theory. I am situating my analyses within wider critical and cultural responses to the AIDS crisis in America, drawing on theoretical understandings of trauma and its relationship to representation.
