︎ Concept






The art of disgust is a subtle line far from the antithesis of Taste. We are not just speaking about what can be a criticism to a given sense of aesthetics but what can be a taste against. And this is not just about enjoying your own refusal but about performing it. It is about moving John Waters in every day life. It is about the pleasure of being strangled by the violet pipes in Berlin as much as the representation of femininity by the Aldi Markt Cashier. It is the electricity of shock from the “Comic Sans” Font in a Fehrbelliner Platz U Bahn Posters as much as the micro-aggressions of the curry wurst Lady at the Boddin Strasse Imbiss. With what colors do you paint your nails? Gegen Taste is the hidden light of a thoot diamond, shining bright in your inner smile. Embrace others as your individual psychic sliding toward a world of unknown where taste is just another cultural construction structured by a social norm. Gegen Taste is a Paso Doble positive dialogics. Dance with us to the rhythm of a disgraceful elegance.
