I’m very happy to announce that I am a part of Wunderkammer Biennale 2026, Pride Art’s major biennale of queer art, that opened in Oslo today.

I applied for Wunderkammer on one of those rare days when I felt brave enough to put myself forward. I knew very little about it at the time. I just knew it was a major queer art exhibition, and that I had a piece I wanted to show.

So I thought: fuck it, why not?

And now I’m actually a part of it.

This is my first time exhibiting with Pride Art and my first Wunderkammer, which makes it particularly meaningful to me.

Pride Art has a long history of creating spaces for queer artists and queer perspectives on our own terms. Its roots go back to 1985, and Wunderkammer grew out of that tradition of making space for queer art outside the limitations of the mainstream art world.

The name Wunderkammer comes from the historical “cabinet of curiosities”: collections of unusual, strange and fascinating objects that eventually became part of the history of the modern museum. For a very long time, queer people have been treated as curiosities. Wunderkammer turns that around. We create the collection ourselves. We decide what belongs in it.

And I’m very proud that Counting Cunts gets to be part of this year’s cabinet.

Counting Cunts

My work often lives somewhere between humor, sexuality, anger and tenderness.

Counting Cunts is all of this.

The piece is part of a body of work created in the aftermath of experiencing hate crime. It is quite confrontational, and represents both my pride and my internalized homophobia: the complicated space between knowing who you are, being proud of it, and carrying the shame that has been put there by other people.

The work is about reclaiming space, pleasure and pride after they have been threatened and diminished. About the quiet process of finding your way back to yourself.

It is about queer resilience: not as something hard or invulnerable, but as something softer: the ability to feel, to heal, to rebuild, and to begin again.

Counting Cunts is a queer work about reclaiming something that has been used to diminish you. It is confrontational, vulnerable and political at the same time.

I deliberately chose a derogatory word that has been used to shame us, reduce us or make us feel like something we should hide.

There is something powerful about turning that around and making it mine.

I spent a majority of my life trying to be palatable. I don’t want to be palatable. I want it to be allowed to be angry, ridiculous, tender, sexual, uncomfortable, beautiful, messy and joyful.

Sometimes all at once.

And maybe that is part of why I applied for Wunderkammer on that particular brave day. I’m still learning to take up space myself, but I’m getting better at it.

Counting Cunts is a 103 × 73 cm giclée print on 240 gsm acid-free fine art paper. The piece is signed and will be for sale. Unique version of the print.
