Benjamin Huynh’s work is seeking to explore the potential of painting, through the concepts of care, inclusion and soft activism intertwined with contemporary queer political issues. These notions function as essential survival strategies in late capitalism.
Their work begins with collaborations with friends to generate source materials, particularly selfies, an approach that aims to be positive and challenge the representation of bodies. In this way, painting serves as a tool to cross the worlds of images, oscillating here between the history of Western figurative painting and the self-representation of the 21st century through photography. Reexamining traditional aesthetics and gender assignments, Benjamin’s work actively involves the people painted in a horizontal relationship with the artist.
These proposals connect painting with the question of the device. Textile work and installation become tools to free oneself from the canvas while redefining museography and the exhibition as a place of passage. Figurative painting then disrupts the distance-object interaction, culminating in installations where the works and the viewers converge.
At the heart of this exploration is a sprawling approach, which weaves together contemporary themes of interconnection, privacy and self-representation. Reference images derived from selfies serve as a channel to explore identity, the embodiment of bodies, and the impact of the digital age on self-expression. Benjamin’s practice is not conceived as a series, but rather as a collection of interconnected objects, each engaging in a dialogue with the others.

BAR ROOM
In her performance, Kongi embodies the task of offering his blood again and again. The same gesture which for centuries has caused the downfall of women: in marriages where they are denied or in the shame of a still well-established taboo. To offer one’s blood to one’s husband is to offer its integrity, disappear from itself. Bloodshed is a guarantee of passivity.
But she has not said her last word “Eroticised, sexualised, my master forgets the subtlety and divinity of my sacred being, forgetting that I am the very manifestation of the feminine essence, the creator of life, the living incarnation of love and power.” The gesture is generous and the act “empowering”. During the performance, slowly, Kongi is inviting the audience to take a pill made of dry blood and other elements of the feminine power.

A radical trans-poetic massage for the ears and the heart. A text with words as strong as a well-delivered uppercut. It scratches, it tears you apart, and then it’s soft… like a punch in the face! It takes you down slowly, like spit dripping in between breasts. It’s raw flesh, my bones creaking between your teeth. It’s 20 minutes of dark and funny poetry, like a hymn to the urgency of a certain rage.
