Joshua Serafin’s “Cosmological Gangbang” (2023) is an ongoing project spanning painting, drawing, film collage, video installation, and live performance. Drawing on the precolonial history and creation myths of the Philippine archipelago, the project imagines a pantheon of non-binary and gender-fluid deities who transgress both the bounds of earthly history and binary categories of identity. “Cosmological Gangbang” imagines a speculative future where the imposed ideologies of colonial patriarchy have given way to more ancient, more fluid, and more liberated modes of being.
Creation Paradigm’s imagery relates to Joshua’s performance work VOID, which will be presented on July 20, 2024 at Amant’s outdoor space at 316 Ten Eyck
