Luca Asta’s practice explores how systems of power — government, religion, ideology and technology — impact psychosocial constructions of identity and self. Working across sculpture, photography, video, performance and text, their intimate and confrontational artworks expose the unnaturalness of binary beliefs about sex and gender, and reveal internalised oppressions and the contradictions within the normative behaviours derived from these beliefs.
With their works, Asta aims to crystallise embodied paradoxical manifestations of subjectivity, to subvert ideas on one’s identity and sexuality. Queer resistance and a fight against language itself are the tools they play with.
